I also call a petrol station a 'garage' lol I think it's because years ago most petrol stations and service centres, showrooms etc were also 'garages' with general service areas combined.
re guns. Headlines in The Sunday Times wasn't too good - an extract from the article said:
" ......official figures showed that gun-related killings and injuries had risen more than fourfold since 1998....
The Home Office figures - which exclude crimes involving air weapons - show the number of deaths and injuries caused by gun attacks in England and Wales soared from 864 in 1998-99 to 3,821 in 2005-06. That means that more than 10 people are injured or killed in a gun attack every day. "
TEN a day! Well I guess thankful that "just injured' are included in those figures, but even so ... :o(
