I think they depend on people feeling too intimidated not to buy something. Definitely not a charity. There have been several threads on here before about them. They've been doing this round here for at least twenty years, on and off.

I expect they have done their sums :) I'm sure they will do very well.

Ah OK, that would explain it, thanks.

And of course you don't need to go through the procedure every time, because that's the whole point of putting an icon on the quick access toolbar. And of course the icon will always show on the ribbon regardless of whether you need to use it or not, once you've put it there!!! Thanks Inbound. I found I could only right-click on the option once it had become "recently used" in the "tell me what you want to do" space, as the first time it just performed the shrinking immediately before I could right-click on it, but other than that it was very straightforward.

No, there has been quite a time lapse between the posts. I've seen what I thought was an unposted post on my phone, so posted it, but then found it had already been posted some time before. ETA: And yes, my fault and my memory is rubbish, but it helps if the system tells me so :))

It used to be the case that if you tried to post a post twice, you couldn't and you'd get a message saying duplicate post. But several times recently I've posted duplicate posts (from my phone, because I wasn't sure if I had posted them or not) and they have both been posted and I've had to delete one. Has something changed?

Sorry, duplicate post

You asked the people going through the bins? OK that's cool. So they weren't looking for shoes?

:( Yeh I remember the very first one, name escapes me though .....

He seemed pretty kosher to me. Sorry, can't be arsed to think of a fish pun :))

Very sorry for your loss, and I don't know your circumstances, but I wonder if as well as having someone to talk to you also need some physical (and caring) contact? Do you have a relative or friend who would sit with you and hold you while you cry? Without trying to impose any "help"?

Did you not talk to them and ask what they were doing? Surely that would be more useful than asking other people on here??

Didn't take long for the thread to go off topic again, did it?!

Britannia Rescue use local garages and I've always found them very good, including for Homestart.

Sorry I posted a duplicate post

Ah OK sorry I misunderstood, thought you meant every litre of yoghurt was costing you ?20 :))

Depends what sort of thing you are looking for? My sofa was exorbitantly expensive from Heals, but I've had it nearly thirty years! Squint in Shoreditch do interesting sofas, but maybe not your taste. http://www.londontown.com/LondonInformation/Shopping/Squint/581b/

I quite liked that album when it came out :)) In fact I might still have it on a cassette somewhere :))

Ah OK, thanks

I used to make yoghurt in a wide neck thermos. You don't need any special ingredients, just a bit of ordinary plain yoghurt and milk. Then when it's ready add fruit or flavouring if you want. In fact I now feel inspired to start doing that again!
