Whats the difference

This is from the Highway Code

108: Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10mph or less.
Laws RTA sect 36 & TSRGD regs 10 & 26

grub screw ( ′grəb ′skrü ) ( design engineering ) A headless screw with a slot at one end to receive a screwdriver

Not likely to have a nut, lock or otherwise.

Typical male oriented subject this innit?

You could say it's a thread about screws and nuts.

There is one other element that you missed.

It also means no parking

I believe screws are tapered and bolts are not?

And I think u'd get some pretty funny looks if you went to a parts shop/dealers and asked for some cylinder head machine screws or some 'big end' machine screws oh
