I watch a lot of Fire videos on YouTube, and I've noticed that, unlike the UK where I'm from, there is no standardised color for Firetrucks. I've seen white ones, yellow ones, red ones, and even a blue one. Can anyone explain to me why there's no fixed colour for them, please? Thanks!

Just a heads up for anyone who uses the shopmobility service from Ely Museum. The service is currently not available, so if you normally use it, you may have to find alternative means of getting around.

I know this is minor, but I've just added the app to my new smartphone, and the sound effects (the jingle when money goes in or out) aren't working.
All I'm getting is the standard SMS notification tone. I'd there any way to change this or turn the sounds on?

No alcohol. Vaper, No recreational drugs. UK based.
Since being diagnosed with Graves Disease, I have begun to notice a serious change in both my urine and feces. Passing both is normal, but there is a strong, almost foul odour coming from both, being reminiscent of something musty or mouldy. I have only noticed this since the beginning of my Carbimazole, and I am wondering if this is a side effect of the drug, or a natural change that would occur with the administration of this medication.
Everything else appears normal from my end, there's been no change in the colour of my feces, nor in the colour of my urine. I am drinking regularly, at least 2 to 3 glasses of water per hour, plus tea and decaf coffee.

I have a parcel being delivered to my address on Monday by ParcelForce. I haven't ordered anything, and I want to stop the item being delivered.
I'm not going to be here to reject it at the door, as I'm going away tomorrow.
Will ParcelForce customer services accept an instruction over the phone to take it back to their offices and return it from there?

When I was younger, I heard these terms a lot, especially on TV. Someone getting into a temper would be told "Don't lose your rag", and others who were in a temper or angry would be defined as "losing (his/her/their) rag".
It's always made me wonder just what losing a rag had to do with being in a temper or angry...
(Apologies for the spelling mistake in the title, I tried to correct it, but I can't.)
