1. Shot in England, where it was sometimes screened as simply a Double Decker, this US comedy-adventure for children proved popular on both sides of the Atlantic. The story centered on a group of children whose clubhouse was a double-decker bus situated in a junk yard. The show made a lasting impact of its genera­tion, probably owning to the repeats that ran during subsequent holidays.

2. Imagine coming out of your home, or back to the car park from a shopping trip you discover that your car isn't where you left it. What should you do? Call your local police station — you'll find their number in the phone book. The police will rarely attend the scene of the crime because there isn't much they can do. Instead they will alert patrolling officers and also pass the details on the Police National Computer (PNC), and the details of your stolen car will be circulated across the country.

3. They use sunlight and the green in their leaves to make sugar from carbon dioxide (which they breathe in with their leaves during the day) and water. This sugar is then used to give the plant energy so that it can grow. The process is called photosynthesis and is the most important process on the planet.

4. Great emphasis is placed on their theatrical window displays, in particular during Easter and Christmas. The store is known primarily for its food hall, which features such English favourites as teas, biscuits, mar­malades and the very British picnic hamper.

7. Customers with bicycles may not travel on trains advertised to arrive at London Paddington between 07.45 and 09.45, nor depart from Paddington between 16.30 and 18.30 Mondays to Fridays. There are no restric­tions on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays.

MICHAEL FARADAY

Michael Faraday, English experimental physicist, was born in 1791 in a poor family. The boy began to work as an apprentice at a bookbinder’s shop at an early age. One day a man entered a shop and found the boy studying an article on electricity. The man was surprised to a boy so interested in such a difficult subject and gave him four tickets for the lectures at the Royal Institutions.

The boy went to the lectures and made notes of what he heard. At the end of the lecture he came to Sir Humphrey Davy, the great English scientist, and showed him his notes. Davy was surprised. Later he made Faraday his assistant and helped him in his education.

Faraday had many important discoveries. Among his works are the concept of the magnetic field and the magnetic “lines of force”, production of new kinds of optical glass, and research on electrolysis.

Faraday produced the first mechanical motion by means of a permanent magnet and an electric current. This is the principle upon which the modern electric motor is based.

Faraday was very modest and he loved his work more than honors. He refused to become President of the Royal Society and also refused to be knighted.
