And I imagine the number of reduced items (due to imminent use-by dates) has increased because they are slightly over-stocking, which I would much rather they did than under-stocked, which when they first became the Co-op they seemed to do. The empty shelves are often at times when they are changing over the special offers, I have realised.

It's great to be able to follow threads and be told when there's a new post, but not so great to be away from the computer for a while and come back to an inbox jammed with emails all relating to new posts in the same thread! Other forums I'm in will email you once when there's a new post in a thread, but then don't send any more emails until you've actually visited the thread again. Would it be technically possible to do that in this forum?

VerMICElli Sorry

I believe that's actually true, because it shrinks flesh :))

Well I'd like an iPhone with zillions of apps, instead I have a non-iPhone on which I can get the weather, news headlines (out of date), wikipedia, sport and "celebrity news" :)) Oh and I can get Facebook and stuff, but I can't read any of it because the screen's so small :)) But hey, I only pay a tenner a month for loads of calls and texts and internet time and the phone was free, and I got a lovely hot pink leather case for it for a fiver from eBay, so hey who needs an iPhone (grrrrrrrr I want one (6):))).

Don't give up the day job, Lady TaTa :))

On no, the goose is out! It's escaped from our website, I've spent most of the day redoing it so that's pretty ungrateful of it :)) www.thegooseisout.com

But now they're using BT servers it's supposed to be much improved, which is why I wondered if anyone had very recent experience of it.

Thanks for that Tog, I had been considering Virgin at one stage, as there is cable in my road and they inundate me with offers, but my daughter has just given me a freeview/personal recorder hard drive box thing which she couldn't use where she moved to (had to change to satellite TV due to no reception) so I gave up the cable plan. However looking at the list of broadband providers I got off the Moneysupermarket website, Virgin does seem to be quite cheap, maybe I need to have another look. So many things to take into account :))
