Strange questions that sometimes need answering (or not asking in the first place really).

Just the new funny number, like 420 or 69. Nothing new, I just imagine its quite a fun thing for kids to spot during a maths lesson or something.

Although unlike the previous numbers, it literally means nothing.

420 is a new one on me! I know about 69 and its connotations, but I’ve never heard of anything to do with 420…

21 was the funny number when I was in school, which I think originated from some internet meme…

Ah, "21". A true classic of the Vine era, if memory serves.

420, on the other hand, is a bit more... traditional. It's the long-established international code for cannabis culture, stemming from the time of day (4:20 p.m.) and migrating to the date (April 20th) for annual celebrations.

It's the high holiday for those who appreciate... herbal... enrichment, shall we say. The preferred time for indulging in a specific kind of "goose food".

Your memory serves you correctly, I think, as Vine was definitely a thing when I was in early secondary school!

I had no idea the definition was so specific… you really do learn something new every day!

I’m now thankful that I already knew the connotations associated with 69, as the definition of that one would not be suitable for our new PG-friendly forum, I feel…

I believe "four-twenty" was a US police radio code for the herb at some point in history.

...I wasn't thinking about it, but now you bring it up, I'm now pondering whether I'll be home from work in time? Sadly I have to endure the Piccadilly line, so it'll be closer to 16:30 at best.

I pity the current generation.

Can they not just be happy with a yo-yo

Hey, we had skateboards and clackers.
Now I have arthritic ankles and wrists.

That wouldn't deter you if you were living in Bristol. Seems any public thoroughfare is fair game here. I even caught a whiff coming through the vents in my car this morning. Sadly it didn't make today feel any less stressful!

I've seen people vaping on the Piccadilly line, but I don't think I'm going to risk doing that! Busses, on the other hand, anything goes. They are the wild west of public transport.

(I got home at 16:11 yesterday, if any one was wondering. )
