Some films show the past in black and white and comments on some TV shows indicate that some people might think the 1950s was actually in black and white.

Suddenly I started seeing it spelt without the g everywhere.

People have condemned the Confederate flag as racist because of the Southern support for slavery but the Indian wars were carried out under the flag of the USA and numerous ill deeds carried out under the flag of the Union Jack but neither of these flags is considered a racist flag in the way that the Confederate flag is by some.

I found out that producing UPVC has a very danaging effect on the environment. Given that these windows are only guaranteed to last 10 years and will definitely need replacing between 15-20 years of instillation also that some of the year heating will not need to be on in the first place, do these things pay for themselves in any way?

For example which is better for the environment paper towels or electric driers? Hothouse flowers or ones flown in? Do U PVC windows recover the environmental costs of producing them before they have to be replaced?

Kings Heath without an apostrophe would mean that the area related to a more than one king whereas an apostrophe shows it is a heath which was owned bt a king.

Syria? Yemen? In the 1990s peacekeepers seemed to be in many different parts of the World.

I saw a notice stating that a company was now using electric driers instead of paper towels for the good of the environment. Is it really true that paper towels are bad for the environment when you consider the embodied energy whilst the trees were growing and the cost of generating electricity?
