Which one do you mean? If you mean Oswald Lawrence he died in 2007.

I imagine that that particular article was the only one that could be found on the subject, or was the first one he saw when doing a search.

Dear Lord. And I thought the young'uns were supposed to understand the new-fangled technology.

I believe that if you hold your finger on a piece of text or link, it selects it and a "Copy" option flag comes up. Then hold your finger on the text box you need to put it into and a "Paste" flag should appear.

As a resident of Southampton, I believe that Phil Sayer's voice is also the one that tells you what train is approaching at South West Trains stations.

It usually does, but when I do it for URLs, it doesn't come up with anything. I don't know why!

According to http://www.newsworks.org.uk/Daily-Mirror, 1,815,000 read the print version of the Daily Mirror each day, with a circulation of 791,839. Not sure what that has to do with anything whatsoever though, unless you're now judging people based on their choice of read?
