I have just noticed on Google maps that The Royal Observatory Greenwich is at longitude -0.000506 and not 0.0.<br />
The prime meridian is a few feet east at Blackheath Avenue !<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why and what do you think?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is it now safer?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Predestine crossing at south end of South Road also turned off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is it now safer. What do you think?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The railings would not only stop predestines and small children walking in to the road but also cars mounting the pavement.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How long before a major accident?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>The railings where removed between 24/03/2014 and 28/03/2014.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stop press:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have just read that removing the safety railings will cost about £9,300∙00p</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">So we will be called the SK.</span><br />
Scotland will be known as the Scottish Kingdom or SK for short.<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If we remove the Scottish part of the flag then a number of other flags will also be affected.</span><br />
<br />
The United Kingdom flag is made up from the English, Scottish and Welsh flags.<br />

My local reservoir is overflowing with water.<br />
My town has been fitted with water meters over the last few months.<br />
<i>(Got my water meter two weeks ago)</i><br />
And there is a house pipe ban?<br />
Mind you, if the hosepipe ban has ended then they will never tell you.<br />
The only time you know there is no ban is when they say that a new ban is about to start.<br />

If Gopherwood is not available, substitute common Cypress, noted in the Mediterranean for its resistance to rotting.<br /><br /><b>2;</b> Begin gathering animals to carry in the ark. Start with pack animals, which will make it easier to haul in the necessary Gopherwood.<br /><br /><b>3;</b> Prepare a framework on which to attach the outer hull, planking and decking. Framework dimensions are 300 cubits (450 feet) long by 50 cubits (75 feet) wide by 30 cubits (45 feet) high.<br /><br /><b>4;</b> Attach planking for the outer hull, placing a door in the side to make it easier to load the animals into the ark. Also attach decking and two subdecks, dividing the ark into upper, middle and lower levels.<br /><br /><b>5;</b> Divide the floors into rooms to keep the animals separated and provide separate space for the human crew. Secure the galley so that hungry animals can't break in and eat more than their share.<br /><br /><b>6;</b> Make a roofed cabin for the upper deck and finish the ark to within a cubit (18 inches) from the top.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><b>7;</b> Coat the hull inside and out with pitch to seal any gaps between the planks and protect the wood. Apply several coats, as the ark must withstand forty days and nights of rain, plus another 110 days of ocean travel and another 7 months of sitting in mud on Mount Ararat.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg7eDUJ_avOBvBDv2vEXWT8AGuWyV0sqGKBRYi90PN9HtKaORNfSnBuQ97wh7DyqnBrsLE98M_F_NPhEes2ZpmIHpYdNC9eCQICdm4yzxUmesscUeS7ZPojEcun8XJl8gsGxZEjzkeyjES/s1600/Ark.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><strong><span style="font-size: 130%;">The House of Lords</span> want all commercial channels to have an equal limit of seven minutes of adverts an hour.</strong><br /><br />Public service broadcasters ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5 are aloud to have an average of 7 minutes of ads and up to 8 minutes during peak time <em><span style="font-size: 85%;">(6pm-10:30pm)</span></em> per hour.<br />Other commercial channels including ITV2, E4, Fiver and Sky1 are aloud to have average of 9 minutes and up to 12 minutes during peak time.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial;">Well a program shown on a BBC channel that lasts for 45 minutes fills a 1 hour slot on a channel with adverts at the moment.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: arial;"></span><span style="font-family: arial;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial;">EG. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial;">Dr Who or Star Trek on BBC TV is just under 45 minutes. The same program on a commercial channels fills a one hour slot.<br />So they have more than 9 minutes an hour or 12 minutes at peak time.<br />Also as Product Placement will become legal from the 28th of February, it seams that we will have 60 minutes of adverts in an hour.<br />Product Placement will also mean that we will get a new DOG (Digital On-screen Graphics) next to the channel DOG.<br /><br />For more information about the new product placement rules, see <a href="http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/2011/02/product-placement-on-tv" target="_blank">http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/2011/02/product-placement-on-tv</a></span></div>

Then have a text page to select the radio station.<br />This would work in the same way as the BBC iText selects one of it's news streams.<br />This would give us 75 more EPG slots, minus one slot for the new TV channel.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4;</span> If ITV4 had a text service, then it could have one page to display ITV4+1 as a stream and a page listing the programs.<br /><br />We can view ITV4+1 on Freesat (Not FSFS). But switching between Freesat and Sky to view all the different channels can be a pain.</span>Mark Agiushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11490292844355526739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475990539711352865.post-46980453113415109282011-01-20T13:03:00.005+00:002011-01-20T13:18:09.175+00:00New EPG's from Sky.<span style="font-family:arial;">I have just found the new Sky EPG list as from 1/02/2011.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">ITV4+1 is still not listed.</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" > (ITV4+1 was listed up to the start of January)</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">and Sky2 moving to 129, Sky3 to 152.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">101 BBC ONE</span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> (Local)</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">102 BBC TWO</span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> (Local)</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">103 ITV1</span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> (Local)</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">104 Channel 4 / S4C</span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:78%;" > (Local)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">105 Five</span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> (Local)</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">106 Sky 1 (HD)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">107 Sky Living (HD)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">108 Sky Atlantic (HD)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">109 UKTV Watch</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">110 UKTV GOLD</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">111 UKTV Dave</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">112 ComedyCentral (HD)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">113 Universal (HD)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">114 Syfy (HD)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">115 BBC THREE</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">116 BBC FOUR</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">117 Channel 4<span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> (Wales only)</span></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">118 ITV2 (HD)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">119 ITV3 (HD)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">120 ITV4 (HD)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">121 Sky Living+1</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">122 Sky Livingit</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">123 Sky Livingit+1</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">124 FX (HD)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">125 Challenge</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">126 MTV</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">127 ComedyCentral+1</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">128 ComedyCentralX</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">129 Sky2</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">130 Sky Living Loves</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">131 ITV1+1</span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" > (Local or nearest reigon)</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">132 Alibi</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">133 Gold+1</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">134 S4C</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">135 Channel 4+1 (UK) & Channel 4 (ROI)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">136 E4 (UK) & Channel 4+1 (ROI)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">137 E4 +1 (UK) & E4 (ROI)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">138 More 4 (UK) & E4 +1 (ROI)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">139 More 4+1 (UK) & More 4 (ROI)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">140 Channel 4 HD, More 4+1 (ROI)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">141 BBC1 N Ireland (ROI)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">142 BBC2 N Ireland (ROI)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">143 BBC One HD</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">144 Discovery Max</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">145 Discovery Max+1</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">146 CBS Reality</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">147 CBS Reality +1</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">148 CBS Action</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">149 CBS Drama</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">150 Universal+1</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">151 E!
