  Great Britain road numbering scheme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Great Britain has many ancient roads and trackways dating back not only to the Roman occupation of southern Britain but to much earlier times, including the oldest engineered road to be discovered anywhere in the world: the Sweet Track dating from the 3800s BC.
The numbers of the roads changed quite frequently during the early years of the system as it was a period of heavy expansion of the network and some numbered routes did not follow the most usual routes taken.
Fictional numbers are assigned for use on TV and film; such a number that is involved with a serious fictional accident is fllisted for five years from actual use.

The number of Troops throughout the BBS and BGS's history may have not been large but the influence of the BBS and BGS on young lives has been enormous, producing men and women who have gone on to serve the Community in all manner of ways.
The proposed scheme for this 'closer union' was the national launching of the BBS through the pages of CHUMS as a definite peace movement (June 21st 1909).
As quickly as events saw a rapid rise in the numbers of the BBS in the UK, a series of events saw its equally rapid demise to a fraction of the size.

 CBRD - British Roads FAQ
A-roads are the other major routes; they vary from motorway-standard to narrow local roads, and have 1, 2, 3 or 4-digit numbers prefixed with 'A'.
Numbering for these roads is based on nine zones which cover the mainland of Britain, numbered 1 to 9.
All the roads that start in a given zone take the first digit of their route number from the number of the zone (so roads in the 5-zone include A511, B5203, etc).

 Police State Britain
Britain is also a success and it should occur to one of our political leaders to defy the orthodoxy of decline and compliment the nation on its adaptability and deep reserves of virtue and toleration.

If, therefore, the isolation of Poland could not be achieved, Hitler was of the opinion that Germany should attack Great Britain and France first, or at any rate should concentrate primarily on the war in the West, in order to defeat Great Britain and France quickly, or at least to destroy their effectiveness.
On 25 August, Great Britain signed a pact of mutual assistance with Poland, which reinforced the understanding she had given to Poland earlier in the year.
The fact that Great Britain had come to the assistance of-the Greeks, and might thereafter be in a position to inflict great damage upon German interests, was made the occasion for the occupation of both countries.
