Well, the whole question circulating at the time was whether he was really Paul or a look-alike. This question was another way of spreading false rumors. If you asked the Beatles press office, they acted as if the rumor was that Paul had dissapeared in 1969. This was never the rumor, but this was the way they aproached it.
So it was just another way of perverting the story by saying "yes, I'm alive", as if anyone doubted that there was a guy walking around claiming to be Paul McCartney. That wasn't the question to ask at all.

Hello Just to clarify. It actually says "The Best Way to Travel is M & D C" The C stands for "Coaches" Its an advert for a bus company.

But Krysia - this was a casual magazine interview, not a resurgence of memory after a nasty hit on the head! There was no panic, no need for him to blurt out his life story. You're treating this as if it was his one big chance to come clean after 15 years of hiding in the forest.

In the booklet that came with the Magical Mystery Tour LP, there is a picture on Page 6 featuring John Lennon in a fake mustache. Next to Lennon, there is a sign that reads: "The Best Way To Go Is By M&D Company". This means 2 different things: 1. "M&D Compay" is the name of a funeral home in London (Referring that John Would Be Dying). 2. The initials of the funeral home "M&D Company" were MDC...The same initials as Lennon's killer later in life Mark David Chapman.... Here's a pictrue: Spooky, eh? no not really

The coolest clue, and most amazingly brazen, is of Faul sitting at the Army recruitment desk, with the placard saying "I Was" right before him. (MMT album booklet)
No doubt perhaps in historical hindsight the Beatles Corporation slightly feared the legal/business ramifications of the discovery of fake paul, so they considered the blatant clues as sort of a 'disclaimer' if you will, if/when they were "caught".
I find it more weird and compelling that on 'Glass Onion' John sings, "here's another clue for you all; the walrus was paul..." this carries TONS of weight, as in 1968 when the tune was written and recorded, the PID 'hoax' would not even be uncovered for another year! But they were admitting CLUES by name. It's all a mind-blower, even today.

M & D is a term used a lot in England, not only in coaches. Serach for instance
Coaches "M & D"
in google and you'll get tons of answers. I don't know the meaning, though.

I believe it is "Medway and District" but I could be wrong.
