Is This The World’s Smallest Hydrogen Car?
I typed “World’s smallest hydrogen car” into Google and found this web page.
This is the first paragraph of the product description.
The smallest hydrogen fuel-cell car ever commercialized. A small-scale model of a hydrogen fuel-cell application. A funny didactical toy for kids and… adults too!
But it only costs € 99 with the VAT included.
For something more useful, this web page details a ride-on hydrogen fuel-cell lawnmower.
When I find products, like these that can be bought on-line, it strengthens my belief, that at some time in the next few years, someone will demonstrate an Issigonis Mini-sized car that will run on hydrogen.
We must all remember, that engineering is the science of the possible, whereas politics is dreams of the impossible.

The title of this post is the same as that of this article on RailUK.
These three paragraphs introduce the article.

I shall probably go to the Bedford event, as if I didn’t make it, I could go to another.
The Great Cadaver Shortage: Inside Doctors’ Latest Crisis
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article in The Times.
This is the sub-heading.
Faced with a dwindling supply of fresh bodies to train on, British medical schools are having to turn to America’s low-regulation ‘tissue trade’. Would you donate yours, asks Jenny Kleeman
My late wife, C; left her body to medical science and I may well choose to do the same with my body.
She left her body to St. George’s Medical School, mainly because one of her friend’s mother had done the same and there had been no problems.
Looking back on the nearly twenty years since she died, I remember a few months after her death, there was a multi-faith joint Memorial Service in Southwark Cathedral for all those who’d donated their bodies, in the previous year.
None of my family were or are religious, but I’m sure the service helped our grieving, as it was a very moving and inclusive service, that was the Church of England at its best, with assistance from other faiths.
Perhaps if donation were to be linked to support for the bereaved and perhaps a Memorial Service, this might increase the level of donations.
What sort of affect would it create in a city like Liverpool, if the yearly service alternated around the major places of worship in the city and was well-covered on local media?
Wembley: Swan Rescued From Supermarket Roof In Ikea Bag
The title of this post, is the same as this article on the BBC.
This is the sub-heading.
A swan has been rescued from a London supermarket roof in an Ikea bag by a London Fire Brigade (LFB) rescue team.
These are the first three paragraphs.
The brigade said a swan sanctuary volunteer called them at 11:08 GMT on Wednesday after a member of the public spotted the bird from a block of flats.
The team used a 13.5m (44.3ft) ladder to reach the swan, which they called Steve, and alongside the volunteer helped secure the bird in the blue bag.
Once Steve was brought down it was checked over and found to be unhurt.
Another use for the multi-purpose IKEA bag.
