    Microsoft 365 Page Layout in Excel

    I have been using an Acer Aspire 3 laptop for the last couple of years, windows 11 and using Microsoft 365. To save me keep moving it around, I’ve bought another one as I was very happy with its performance. But in Excel, the page layout is different on the screen. The print layout is the same...

    Is having a discreet public wee littering?

    Have some sympathy for people like dustmen (or refuse collectors!). One of them told me recently that they are having some nightmare situations because their depot is too far away to make a quick call, and the only public toilet in our area has been closed for the last few weeks, with little...

    This is why people are losing respect for the police...

    I find this thread incredibly depressing reading, and I’ve not read right the way through either. I worked for the Met Police in a civilian capacity 20 years ago, and although a civvy, my role meant that I saw operational policing at very close quarters. What distressed me more than anything...

    A year ago today…how painful was it?

    No-one would do anything if that was the maximum working stint.

    A year ago today…how painful was it?

    I suppose you can’t prepare the human body for every single eventuality, but clearly decent forethought and precise planning are a necessary part of the role. The admirable thing is that so rarely do things go wrong … from the outside view anyway.

    A year ago today…how painful was it?

    I guess the sweets thing would have been more for police officers than the military lads. But your post emphasises the whole point entirely. The thought of having to stand like that for four or five hours, or even longer if the seven hour comment was correct, must be torture.

    A year ago today…how painful was it?

    One year ago yesterday was the state funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth and looking back now, I wonder how those who took part in the huge event were feeling the day after? Almost 6,000 military personnel were involved and the operational arrangements for making sure they were sufficiently fed and...

    Who is the abnormal one?

    My missus has always been the “I need to go and I need to go now” type. I was never like that and I could hold onto a load for hours without difficulty. However, I must admit that as the years have progressed, I’m starting to get calls with a bit more urgency and the need for an immediate trip...

    How wide is your front door?

    Thanks for all the (serious) replies. My door is 84cm wide but the company are saying they will not deliver unless the opening is at least 90cm as that is the depth of the sofa. It seems ludicrous to me as surely most doors to/in properties are not that size? I‘m tempted to say the door meets...

    Thanks. I thought I was going mad!

    How wide is your front door?

    I’ve recently tried to order some new lounge furniture (chairs, sofa, etc). The order has been placed, but the company has contacted me to say that if the door to the property is not a minimum of 90cm, they won’t be able to deliver as the item(s) won’t fit through! My front door is 84cm wide...

    New Car … where to start?

    I don’t want diesel or electric either.

    New Car … where to start?

    Well yes, possibly. Although maybe a year or two old might be a better bet. Budget-wise, I’m fairly flexible. But I was thinking around £25,000 or whereabouts. Or is that unrealistic?

    New Car … where to start?

    Alright, I confess. I don’t really have much interest in cars and my knowledge is limited, to put it mildly. My current car - a Renault, is 13 years old, has done well over 100,000 miles and is, unfortunately, on its last legs. So I need to buy a new one. But I haven’t a clue where to start. I...

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    I appreciate your replies. I suppose I posted because I was just feeling a bit irked! I could easily provide the paperwork, and might do so. Cheers.

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    I’ll have to check the bill for the standing charge, but when I spoke to someone at SSE today and queried it, she said the reading was submitted on 2nd, and their records show that as the takeover date. It may be my fault as perhaps I didn’t make it clear enough when moving in, but as you’ll...
