Check Firefox to see if the web page images function is enabled. If you are not seeing any images, this setting may be disabled. Another similar feature within firefox allows you to command Firefox to download images, but only if they are physically located on the current Web sites server(s).

Apparently – bus companies have introduced a new policystating that drivers above 23 stone in weight will no longer be able to drive. Directors at Stagecoach for instance have sent 14,400 of their staff letters stating the new policy. The company hvae introduced the new policy nationally following fears their seats could collapse. Employees above the new legal weight limit are to be offered keep-fit incentives as well as alternative wotk within the company.

The policy was implemented after Stagecoach was advised by vehicle manufacturers that the adjustable chairs in the bus cabs could collapse under too much weight and therefore posed a significant health and safety threat.
