- @Soulnet, I put an answer up of news a while ago. I don’t think you accepted because it’s still on the list of unanswered questions. I knew I was right, and I just googled it, and it says the answer is headlines, but if you look at the image, it’s not only headlines, it’s full articles. Previously they had had classified ads on the front page. I think that’s a win for me.
A couple of handy ones for my Ag Science degree!
545 Cotton
555 Phosphate. Funnily enough they then used some of their cash to tip into Fitzroy.
LOL at how many times 555 has been answered (including by me)

@Shelton10 This was the closest I could find to an answer with news in it. When I quote, you can see the numbers but i’m not going through post by post to figure out what people meant to do!
I’ve also said it many times in this thread. Don’t use a full stop after the number. Simply use a - or a space after the number.
Please check your posts if you want me to mark off a correct answer!
Another example.
Edited example.
555, bird poo
Everyone is taking the poop now. lol

Hahaha! Missed them completely!
527 rubber is then only other answer I can give, and that is after I re read the Wikipedia article which made it seem like wax, celluloid, or ceramic were more likely answers. And not counting metal foil which was only used on cylinders not discs so doesn’t qualify as an “gramophone record” but it instead a phonograph

Sorry. I don’t put the full stops, but sometimes autocorrect does it for me and then changes the numbering. Bastards.
