The UK's best selling mobile phone shop is still called "The Carphone Warehouse". When did anyone last buy a Phone for their Car?

Probably 1K and not 1M. I know I expanded mine to 6K and then overclocked it to 2Mhz by adding a hardware switch. Interference when drawing on the screen was bad, but twice the speed was awesome.

A small airline in the UK uses exactly that method of boarding. It may be unique in that the owner of the airline greets you at the departure lounge as well. When the announcement is made, he explicitly asks that you board in row order. If you try to get on early, you're asked to kindly wait until your row is boarding. Everyone boards quickly. One of the most pleasant airline experiences I've ever had.
