Worse still, I've argued this point on other forums and been told that the correct spelling should be 'OV' !!!

What you obviously don't appreciate is that your grammar checker comes from a person/company whose first language is NOT English - they are regrettably from the other side of the pond!! Rather than simply accept what a poorly educated 'follower of fashion' has to suggest I would recommend...

Agreed - but who will move the posts to a new thread?

... and is NEVER needed !!

I'm currently awaiting a 'Hermes' delivery and - as usual - their e-mail telling me "We've got your..... parcel..." is a vastly bloated missive that tells me nothing since I read e-mail on my PC rather than on any form of 'Apple' device. Only by looking at the [Raw] text and searching through...

I didn't really suggest that it was 'simple' to integrate 'On-line' & 'Bricks & Mortar' stock holding - specifically when they are both 'live' at one and the same time, and I can certainly appreciate the point that you make when stock is approaching Zero, but it is certainly possible to take...

I find that - in this day and age - incomprehensible! In the 80's I had a DIY/Hardware shop stocking some 12000+ items and wrote a computer Point of Sale system which updated the available stock at Point of Sale that was the whole point of the system. I later created a similar system for a...

OUCH!!! Don't remind me :eek: - - - When I was pre-teenage my (older) cousin who lived next door, did just this and chopped through my shoe taking a chunk out of my foot!! That would have been at least 70 years ago & I can still remember being in shock!

Excellent Brian, particularly taking account of the LED spacing -- I might have taken a different (more difficult) approach of boring out the plastic tube!

Whitmore's Timber Co. at Claybrook Magna about 6 km east of Hinckley along the A5 has a good stock of all manner of hardwoods - - - well they did when I last visited in summer 2020 :)

The voice of reason there Terry. With only 15 contestants (most years) it is extremely difficult to get an appropriate cross section. That means that each contestant has to represent 6.67% of the population. When you then appreciate that the estimate of the deaf population in the UK is 1 in...

Oh yes, that 'Counts' but is hardly current (late 70's I think)

Watching most 'sport' I agree can be tedious - certainly Golf, Football, Rugby, Cricket - (have I offended a sufficient proportion of the readership? :ROFLMAO: ) but 'Dance' is an art-form (as well as a sport!). I can recommend watching the Spielberg re-make of West Side Story to get a lift...

I'll agree with most of your comments Paul - certainly as far as it being a 'popularity' contest, subject to personal bias - I'm under no illusion on that score. This year is vastly superior to last, but much of that is due to that being a smaller show due to Covid restrictions and much of...

This 'chestnut' is irrelevant. Yes, any celebrity that has had any 'stage' training will have had some form of dance experience, but not in the form that Ballroom & Latin demands. John also had some dance school training even though not through 'stage' work, but it was as a young teenager and...

Well - what a surprise! - NOT - I mean of course the negative response to my opinion :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: No need for an apology Brian ☺ - - - Do you have a complete database of past marking from which you can quantify the relative change in the level? I somehow doubt it. :unsure: I do -...

Strongly disagree!! The overall standard has been good but not as exceptional as the scoring would tend to indicate. There has been a 7½% positive swing in the scoring compared to the average for previous series. J&J have been well over-marked every week - they shouldn't have made even the...

It's a good job that this is a JOKE thread!!

What is noteworthy about that? Switzerland has the largest Navy of any land-locked country.

You mention in your first post that you've been told that you undervalue your work. That is the biggest problem you have. It is virtually impossible to raise the price you charge - for 'similar' produce - once your pricing history is known. So if you charge one 'friend' (say) £20 and he/she...
