It may only be background, but something makes it very very noticeable ...

I've driven a plastic-nose Trannie on an A-reg., and that's 1983; but could well be 1984my.

Reappears at start of ep1.03, when I realised this is cliche bingo time for Manchester pretending to be London (see also the AEC Routemaster). And what was the actual name of that London evening paper in 1985 "The Standard" (as liveried here) or "The Evening Standard"??

I would really like to know who's invented the weird fashion of to print titles in large letters. Ink and newsprint are expensive!

.... especially as the headline on the paper he's just bought is different from the one in the display window.

But the wages of the writers are more expensive :p (o.k. today not any more). In German there is a term for that (as it seems, not translateable, literally something like: "page-grinding): "Seitenschinden". Maybe the journalists of us will know, what I mean.

Reappears ep1.11, 31-00 in a Cliche Bingo sequence where they are desperately trying to make Radium St (Manchester) look like London, with a Routemaster and a fake bus stop - see comments on AEC Routemaster page.
