  1. Just a thought but perhaps there could be a "How too" section on the forum that you could go to if you need help,or people could leave top tips in peforming certain computer tasks That would perhaps help people without having to keep asking for assistance,I know that I have been helped by this forum a lot,but sometimes if I`ve forgotton how to do something I end up trying to find the thread !!

    Just an idea

    :)

  2. Yeah Thats what I mean Hazelnut..when i search for anything using google up pops my town`s name on the left handside..there is a link to change your location,but it says "auto detected"

    I found this on google....

     

    Automatically detected location

    To provide you with the most relevant results, Google attempts to automatically detect your location and customize results based on that detected location. A location that's labeled "Auto-detected" is chosen based on the following factors:

     

    ?Your IP address .

    ?Google Toolbar's My Location feature. If you have Google Toolbar installed and have the My Location feature enabled, your approximate location (if detected) will be used to customize your search results. If you don't want Toolbar to attempt to determine your approximate location, you can turn off My Location

  3. Just a quick question that someone might be able to clarify for me !

  4. When you read the principles set out by the founders of Cadbury`s,they must be spinning in their graves

     

     

    The Cadburys were pioneers in employee welfare and labor relations, setting standards which other enlightened employers adopted. Cadbury Brothers was the first firm to introduce the Saturday half-day holiday, and also pioneered in closing the factory on bank holidays. In 1918, Cadbury Brothers established democratically elected Works Councils, one for men and one for women. Departments elected representatives to these Councils by secret ballot. The Councils dealt with working conditions, health, safety, education, training, and the social life of the workers.

     

    Conditions and benefits were superior to those workers generally knew in the Victorian era. Young employees were encouraged to attend night school and were allowed to leave work an hour early twice a week. When the Bournville factory opened in 1879, it featured heated dressing rooms, kitchens for hearting food, gardens, and extensive sports fields. Management negotiated special workers' fares with the railway company. The Cadburys even provided swimming pools for employees. They also encouraged the spiritual development of employees, starting morning prayers and Bible readings in 1866, continuing for half a century. Around the turn of the century, the Cadburys established medical and dental departments. They established a Pension Fund in 1906.

  5. In any case I buy my chocolates from Lido, they sell Bellarom "finest milk chocolate" for ?1.10 in 200g bars and quite tasty too.

  6. Dennis you are right ! I`m going to keep quiet about "Tripe & Onions" though !!

     

    perhaps we need a food thread of local specialities/recipes from where your from.. our friends across the pond could give us the secret to the perfect blueberry muffin !

  7. Margaritaville !!! ahh!!!!! Volcano Nachos !

    New year is here ! hopefully it will be an early spring after having the coldest winter in Englnd on record,we had ice on the inside of the windows ,even front door letter box was frozen !

    But ! in March I will be in las Vegas ! and might just have a trip to Margaritaville on the strip !that will keep me going ! :D

  8. I`m wondering if anyone uses some form of automatic file copying program ,For instance photo`s,music,documents that when created is auto copied to another drive as back up ?

    I`ve looked on the net and there are some progams you can download as a trial,but if anyone uses one or recommends one I would be very interested to hear your comments

     

     

    Cheers
