Welcome Baby Grace!
Also, welcome to Martin and Lara's daughter - wonder what they will call her?

I think what you lot have got is a severe case of Common Sense!!!!! I absolutely hate the new style of layout in Sparks and Mensers where there are no obvious gangways through all the stands of goods. I hate going in there these days, I always have that thought 'What if there was a fire' and there is no obvious way to safety. I know they have fire exits etc, but in a panicing crowd I feel it would be lethal. Mind you they don't really sell anything I like or can afford these days so my buying is limited to a fresh baked Rye Loaf once a week, Cheers Lyn x.

They've done your M&S too? I thought it was some uniquely-carp thing they did to mine. It's dreadful, I've had near-panic attacks in there.

I've been in there thrice since the makeover and was so stressed that I had to exit (and the only exit I could find from the upper floors was the lift, gawdelpus in a fire) without making any purchases.

I exited a couple of weeks back, pillowless, and went to an indy store and got one, in and out in under 5 mins. If they want to know where their sales have gone, they'd do well to read this thread, hmm?

:j Congratulations to Grandma Meme for Baby Grace's safe arrival.

Thanks for the tips re USB drives, Nuatha, it's great to have input from all different people with all sorts of life experience. I haven't got a vast amount in my PC, certainly nothing which would require security protection, but it'd tick me off to lose correspondence, photos and recipes and various bits & bobs.

I have both a CD and a DVD drive but the DVD is play-only (at the time I bought this pooter there was a price premium on writable DVD drives). Would it be as good to write the files to CD and store off-site (hi Mum) Sorry if that's an ignorant question, I'm a bit of an innocent abroad in computerland, having come to this malarkey late in life.

Right, onward and upward.

ETA Perhaps Baby MSE should be called Prudence.

Cheapskate

Morning all

What a lot of good news for a sunny Friday morning! So glad to hear about new babies, people home safe from the States, new jobs, staved-off redundancy, etc.... such a nice hiatus from SHTF/winter/toughie prep! :j

GQ, think the M&S thing is country-wide, mine's a nightmare, too. Food hall been "improved" as well. Why do I always groan when I hear that word in relation to a shop or food product, because it's no such blimming thing?! :mad:
