I had a tired old Morris 1000 traveller in my yard, a young lady customer begged me to restore it for her so when business was a bit quiet I fixed it up pretty well like new, mechanics all good interior spotless etc. She and her husband came to look it over, inspected it carefully, she said...

Microsoft on my Win10 computer list Edge as 'Microsoft Edge (Chrome)' It works for me so I haven't interfered with it.

My sister in law was difficult to find when I was doing the tree her family, I thought, was named Baggot but I later found she was Betty Wain, a mystery I still haven't really explained.

Pretty normal for here in the Forest of Dean plenty of people still use coal fires and wood burners.

It's the same countrywide if you don't have paying passengers how can you afford to buy buses at over a quarter million pounds each and staff to drive and service. The taxpayer picks up a big chunk of the cost in subsidies whilst the buses run empty for most of the trip.
