Yes, but there are Pozi/Slot types and Phillips/Slot types out there. ALL the ones in the picture are Phillips/Slot.

Yes. Seal it up with fire rated expanding foam(if you've had to make a large hole) or intumescent sealant. If you are likely to be back any time in the future to run more cables, use a non setting intumescent putty instead, so it's easy to remove and re-use next time.

I saw "TRASHY" this morning near Bedford, actually TRA 511Y, but mis-spaced and with a screw to make the 'H'.

I thought at first that must be fake, but....

I saw MD 1 about fifteen years ago on a clapped out old black BMW 5 series near Cockfosters. The plate must have been worth 20 times the car!! Still exists on a green Mercedes now according to the DVLA.

You bid to host it years in advance, just like the Olympics or The World Cup. (or the "crappy" countries would never get to see a final in their country). All the hotels get booked up months in advance, not knowing who'll be in the final. TV crews, extra Police, Paramedics, staff at the venue...
