The OED lists "shew" as a variation of "show", so I guess that's how it used
to be spelt.

Thanks. I wondered if it was something like that. Good to hear it confirmed
by someone else.

But let's be fair, it wasn't spelt 'shews' when Queen Victoria was
alive, never mind Peter Walker!

Probably was.

Me, as a child, "Daddy, why does that sign say 'tickets must be shewn...'?"

That would have been Nineteen-fifty-something.

Ahh, but remember that nothing on British Rail had changed for more
than a century.................... :-)
