As a landlord my answer to the few previous posts is that unless you are a landlord and can speak from experience then you are talking out of your collective arses. The vast majority I know through various association memberships are perfectly sound but you never hear of the good work they do, it's not news worthy. Of course there are bad ones just as there are bad tenants but that's no reason to tar all with the same brush.

And how some bugger couldn't be bothered to open both doors!

I'd be tempted to question the quality of the mains supply though I have to agree Chinese electricals do leave a lot to be desired

You surprise me Ayeup. In many years of titting about with electronics I've had blown caps be responsible for failures only rarely.

Can you boot from the install disk or into safe mode? Try something like this before changing PSU: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Boladge-Detection-Display-Computer-Supply/dp/B073M2FFJ4/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_bs_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZZAS0AYE33PKEN9EB3VG It's very rare for caps to pop on a modern setup..

Fancy taking a lawnmower to hang out the washing!...

I would love to buy Carbolic soap again but nanny says nooo.....

Do we really need nanny constantly watching over us? Can we not use our common sense and exercise a little restraint?

I've said this before. Although the raison d'etre for the site is nostalgia it long ago morphed into something more. There is room for all subjects and topics if posted in moderation

Never knowingly stolen anything, never knowingly cheated anyone. never claimed benefits.... Never go out without a polished halo!

I bought all my shirts and underwear from M&S when I was younger. Good quality at reasonable prices and made in England, then some management clown tried to take the company 'up market' and it's never been the same since.

Exactly...

You're quite right Ian and TBI. A flagrant disregard for the rules. The Queen of Hearts knew what to do with recalcitrant miscreants, she should be PM! and vituperative outbursts have no place here, I hang my head in shame, mea culpa..

I'm totally disgusted after watching the live debate in Parliament. We face one of the most important decisions the people have faced since the end of the war and what does Parliament do? Not a lot. There are two thirds of the members missing, they can't even be arsed to attend never mind speak in the debate. This is not criticising any one party or opening the leave /remain vote. I see my MP is missing so I feel a note coming on asking why..

Well done Albert..

I knew one of them had to be wrong..

If I have my bearing right the up arrow is the frontage of Pearson Bros and Farmers Piano shops. The alley then runs all the way through to Pearsons loading bay. As a van lad I've run up the steps and through to despatch hundreds of times - don't remember the dog leg though so may be wrong with the location.

The Beeb says 76 yrs old and born in '44. Someone can't do sums!

It would cure something, they could only climb to 18000...

And wan't it just a great job when it was freezing cold and your fingers were cracked and raw from coiling icy ropes...

If you lot are not seeing the problems I've described then it must be something I did, or didn't do. I've just googled 'stop notifications on Facebook'. According to FB support you can't turn off notifications entirely. Being a dinosaur any programme that foists their dross on me is always going in the bin

Ah bless.....

I know the school but never heard the 'four nations' description of the area. You have a very good memory BK. Ask me about any classmates names and I'll struggle to name more than four and they were all in my last year, I have a terrible memory for names.

There's a memory for you, schooners of Australian sherry from Yates Wine Lodge, god that was awful stuff

Probably won't do the neighbours BP much good though and perhaps best not to do it in the middle of Walmart ,,,
