Description:
One of the last remaining 'Pearly Kings' who was the inspiration behind Del Boy is fighting to keep the Cockney tradition alive - saying there are only around 12 left.<br/><br/>George Major, 86, who was crowned The Pearly King of Peckham more than 65 years ago, said there were once more than 400 like him.<br/><br/>But he says he is now only one of around a dozen left carrying the torch. <br/><br/>He still wears his original pearls with pride to welcome visitors six days a week at the world's only Cockney museum that he set up four years ago.<br/><br/>But he said the younger generation were shying away from the east end Victorian tradition - and it was now in grave danger of dying out for good.<br/><br/>And launching his new campaign to 'save the pearlies' he said it was vital more awareness of its history and meaning was passed down.<br/><br/>George grew up working on the market in the south-London suburb from the age of four and was such a major inspiration behind the classic sitcom Only Fools and Horses he was named “Del Boy the First”. <br/><br/>He recalls being followed at the time by the show's writer John Sullivan while he worked as a costermonger with 'Granddad Fred' and a 'lanky bloke' they called the 'plonker.'<br/><br/>The similarities don't end there - with multiple tales of his exploits being used on the show. <br/><br/>He famously once sold 'Cockney smog' - milk bottles filled with exhaust fumes - to American tourists - that's believed to be the inspiration behind the famous 'Peckham Spring' episode.<br/><br/>He was crowned the Pearly King of Peckham aged 20 - and has been collecting items ever since.<br/><br/>George now spends his days showing visitors around his museum near Epsom, Surrey, and taking his cheerful pearly way to groups, events and nursing homes - but said he was sad schools no longer invited him in for talks.<br/><br/>He said: “In 1930 there were around 400 genuine pearlies but now there are only about a dozen or so of us left.<br/><br/>“The museum helps to keep the Pearly tradition alive by teaching new generations about it.<br/><br/>\

An animal lover and his 10-year-old pet goat have been turning heads around a city by going on daily walks together.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;David Hughes, 47, has been walking his large pygmy goat named Boo around their local estates and parks for the last nine years.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;Boo developed osteoarthritis when he was one and David decided to take the him out on regular walks to keep him moving.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;The pair have to stick to a set route which has been approved by a vet on their adventures around Milton Keynes, Bucks.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;David, a technical engineer, said even though he&#39;s been walking Boo for nine years, there are still people who haven&#39;t seen him before.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;He said: &#92;

The operating ratio is a financial metric that measures a company&#39;s operating expenses as a percentage of its total revenue. It provides insights into the efficiency of a company&#39;s operations by indicating how much of its revenue is consumed by operating costs. A lower operating ratio generally indicates better operational efficiency and profitability.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;The formula for calculating the operating ratio is as follows:&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;Operating Ratio&#60;br/&#62;=&#60;br/&#62;Operating Expenses&#60;br/&#62;Total Revenue&#60;br/&#62;×&#60;br/&#62;100&#60;br/&#62;%&#60;br/&#62;Operating Ratio= &#60;br/&#62;Total Revenue&#60;br/&#62;Operating Expenses&#60;br/&#62;​&#60;br/&#62; ×100%&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;Here&#39;s a breakdown of the components:&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;Operating Expenses: These are the expenses directly related to the company&#39;s core business operations, excluding non-operating expenses such as interest and taxes. Operating expenses typically include costs such as cost of goods sold (COGS), selling and administrative expenses, and depreciation.&#60;br/&#62;Total Revenue: This represents the company&#39;s total sales or revenue generated from its primary business activities before deducting any expenses.&#60;br/&#62;By dividing operating expenses by total revenue and expressing the result as a percentage, the operating ratio shows the proportion of revenue that is used to cover operating costs. A lower operating ratio indicates that the company is able to generate more revenue relative to its operating expenses, suggesting greater operational efficiency and profitability.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;Conversely, a higher operating ratio suggests that a larger portion of the company&#39;s revenue is consumed by operating expenses, which may indicate lower profitability and efficiency. However, it&#39;s important to interpret the operating ratio in the context of the company&#39;s industry, size, and business model, as different industries and companies may have varying levels of operating expenses.&#60;br/&#62;&#60;br/&#62;Overall, the operating ratio is a useful measure for assessing a company&#39;s operational efficiency and cost management. It is commonly used by investors, analysts, and managers to evaluate a company&#39;s financial performance and compare it to industry peers.
