Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
It's just come back on Ian in the last hour while I was in the shed. I've posted this and Mystery Objects but I shan't try for anything else as it is still very slow.
Thanks for all I know you are doing!

It was definitely an indoor day yesterday.
That it was Sue.... And up to now today is going to be the same. I have decided there is nothing in the town that won't wait until tomorrow when I think it might be slightly more clement!
I hope your demonstration goes well in Haslingden....

I can remember many years ago Arthur Mee (Publisher of the 'Children's Newspaper') tried to publish a 'good news' paper and it failed miserably.

There are lots of old B&W Universal 'B' movies on YouTube, many of them Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce starring as Holmes and Watson. Not demanding, crystal clear sound, no zooms or flash backs. In short, very relaxing entertainment!

Every report I hear about rail ticketing these days is a complaint. What happened to the days when you bought a ticket and got on a train? Is it because nowadays it is digitally recorded and is so complicated it can't be changed to make it acceptable?

I've looked and I can't see a way of altering Gedit to stop it doing what it's doing.
I can use Libre Office Writer and it doesn't happen.
