That was what made it even more frustrating. The screen at the bus stop was completely blank. Apparently, Waterloo Station became completely impassable.

I waited 45 minutes at Aldwych for an 87 bus but there was not a single bus to any destination arrived during that time, so I gave up.

My question is really why there cannot be a traditional division symbol (as there is on Samsung, as a default symbol), bearing in mind that there are three different types of brackets as default symbols?

Why is there no division symbol on iPhone keyboards?

I don’t know where that number came from, because I’m fairly sure that I was here before some people who have a lower number, but it’s all irrelevant anyway. 🤓

Watching “Last Night of the Proms” yesterday reminded me that I still remember the words of scores of traditional songs, thanks to the radio programme “Singing Together”, when I was at primary school in the late 1950s & early 1960s.
