These issues have all been discussed on this forum ad nauseam last year. Why are we all still here going over and over and over the same ground (pun not intended)?

Don't know the average, but it hasn't been too bad when I've been there lately. Whereas I've recently sometimes had to wait a long time at the sorting office. But I realise my limited personal experience has no statistical validity whatsoever :))

Bonkers! Drones I can understand, at least you're not likely to trip over them unless something goes horribly wrong, but things that look like vacuum cleaners clogging up the streets?! Maybe they need the minders to ring the doorbell (taking it in turns, presumably), given that the robot doesn't appear to have any arms :))

To be fair, though, lots of things get left on trains and buses. So that may reduce the number slightly.

But if it's a robot, what's the point in having a minder, let alone two? Is this just a settling-in thing?

People who stand waiting for the traffic to stop as you arrive at a crossing, although none of them have actually pushed the bloody button.

And admittedly I haven't been to France for about thirty years so am rather out of touch with French cooking :))

Really looking forward to trying it.

Please don't replace the lampposts with those hideous curvy things :( I live just round the corner and I'd like to see something aesthetically pleasing (that is, of course, aesthetically pleasing to me :)) )

If you love someone why wait 364 days to tell them? I think Valentine's Day is quite sweet though. I got a lovely card of a cat sitting on a bird table, and I sent my OH an ecard of some dogs. We didn't actually meet up on the day ..... Each to their own, eh? And if you didn't get a card, well, better to be by yourself than with someone you feel trapped in a relationship with, eh? I hasten to say I am not speaking for myself, I am very happy with my OH :)

I like the way you get a choice between two pieces of cheese or, er, two pieces of cheese :)

Ta! Yum! (Except for the oysters ..... bleurgh!)

Hey, great idea. My front path is definitely a nature corridor, it has weeds aka wild flowers at the side of it. And my front garden is deffo a park! It has plants in. And parks have plants in! :) And it's definitely national, because it's in a nation.

Thanks Red Devil

I'm thinking of renaming my house Sue Mansions (or maybe Sue Hall) and forming a pressure group to get it Grade 2 Listed. Or Grade 1 if I can get a big enough group to make enough noise.

Thanks, that was what I was hoping but didn't want to risk losing it all!!

Sorry this is a very basic question. I had a load of stuff on an external hard drive because my old laptop didn't have enough storage. It was all backed up on Carbonite, and when I got my new laptop all the stuff on the external hard drive was downloaded onto that as well. However all the documents, music, pictures etc from my old laptop are now saved in "This PC", while everything from the external hard drive is now in a folder labelled F, which is saved in OS (C: ) along with things like drivers and program files. All I want to know is whether I can safely move this F folder into my "documents" folder in the "This PC" section, so that I can then start to sort it all out. In case it's relevant, the (very) old laptop was running Vista and the new one is Windows 10, which I am finding it a bit hard to get used to, grammar. Thanks.

They never learn .....

It's really good having such a small delivery slot.

That isn't funny.
