  1. But weirdly, Deliveroo seem to have just recently taken on 500,000 new employees. And that's just in my town.

  2.  @Juliukas101  From Oxford University Press: "Writers have opened sentences with 'and' since the Old English period. Chaucer did it. So did Malory, Shakespeare, the translators of the King James Version of the Bible, and many others."

  3.  @Juliukas101  Also from Oxford Press: "In the nineteenth century, though, some schoolteachers opposed starting sentences with 'and' or but, possibly because young students did that too often. Then teachers went overboard, banning the practice altogether. Today, most language experts and stylists agree that it’s fine to open sentences that way. "

  4.  @Juliukas101  I'm not a language expert. I'm just some average schlub, but I read a lot and I see this a lot in both modern and classical texts. So I'm afraid you're wrong. The matter of whether 'And' at the start of a question is correct is purely one of personal taste.
