There should be a utl.janet-and-john group really for some of the people on
here.

Yes, a lot less people were using it last time I went on it a few months
back. But even 50% full trains add up to a lot of messed up journeys over
9 days.

That would be fewer not less people. Maybe though you're one of the
lesser people of these islands.

Picking someone up on grammar or spelling means you instantly lose the
argument
since you clearly have nothing of actual relevance to add.

Means to whom? Your poor skills with the English language undermine
your arguments on every topic, if they're even intelligible.

Two in a row, this group is surpassing itself today.

And, as usual, you're contributing nothing except badly phrased, misspelt
whines and insults.

You wouldn't be so miserable and frustrated if you worked on your
inadequate communications skills. I'm sure your ESL teacher can help.

Sounds like you're hearing things. Perhaps put on your tin foil hat?

You must have had help with that comment, as it's grammatical and has no
misspellings. But where did the tin foil hat come from? No-one but you
has mentioned one.

So you think a set of reversing points which would have allowed the line

No, they're the intersection of the Latin and Greek alphabets. So:
PHB 1234
could be read as pee-aitch-bee or rho-eta-veta depending on which
alphabet
you use, but the plate is unique in either system. There are no letters
used which aren't in both alphabets.

The Bulgarians and Russians do the exact same thing as their respective
languages use Cyrillic.

Kazakhs use the Latin alphabet, even though they officially use
Cyrillic. There is an official Latin version of their language, I note,
though they generally don't use it.

Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh actually use Armenian on their vehicle
registration plates, though authorities abroad can easily interpret them
as Latin.

It appears that vehicle registration plates in Georgia, a country with a
language that uses a rather unique alphabet, have to use Latin.

GCC vehicle registration plates display Latin and Arabic script, IIRC.
You see them in the West End, around Grosvenor Square.
