Re: Forklift driver at a London warehouse.

Julie,

I seem to recall reading that Pete Best had opened a bakery. But maybe in the process of historical revisionism that got conflated with loading bread onto trucks. Either way, I never heard anywhere that he was a forklift driver, so I'm with you.

Re: Political commentary disguised as questions?

I just want to thank everyone for their feedback to/input on my concerns, and I'm glad to learn they are not exclusively mine. Such mature discussion about a problem is exactly what I relish about this and other sites where people can count on finding other thinking/feeling adults. @Justme - Thanks ...

Political commentary disguised as questions?

Antigua and Barbados

WhizBang - I'm pretty sure Antigua and Barbados are two separate countries and not able to issue a stamp jointly. Antigua and Barbuda, on the other hand, are two neighboring islands that form a single country.

Re: Reverend Jim's name

Thanks, Phil. You gotta figure, when you've posted more than 10,000 questions, you're bound to make a mistake once in a while. Heck, I've only posted about 250, and I make 'em all the time.
