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
to run instead of being completely closed anytime there's an issue north
of
shadwell is a waste of money and **** the passengers? I guess you must
work
for TfL. Either that or its idiot week on here again.


So you managed an apostrophe for there's but forgot it's ...

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.
