    Xmas Saver!
    With the memories being shared, I think most people on here are in the 40's!

    Did you have one of those ring ariels that you had to keep moving?

    I remember one of my first jobs was inputting a data programme into a computer.

    Typing 00011010010100101010101 for 8 hours a day! It was horrendous and I was rubbish! I always kept getting the 0 and 1 in the wrong order! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Haha yes it did have a ring aerial which kept flopping out of position at a crucial moment of Grange Hill :eek:

    My first job was at a firm of Chartered Accountants and I had to write entries manually into leather bound ledgers, add them up and balance them. Ye gods. And if that wasn't bad enough it was really old fashioned with a hierarchy akin to Upstairs Downstairs :rotfl:

    Crikey, you must have been rich!!!! I remember my mum and dad rented their B&W tv (14 '' i think) for years, or so it seemed. I can still remember it exactly and it did have the ring aerial on that you had to move. I'm 36 by the way :p


    ha ha :rotfl: Data entry not your forte SSM?

    My mum would :rotfl: if I told her that, no far from it..I think she saved all year for it, and it was probably our only present that Christmas :D

    Look out for these in Farmfoods. They are dated BB 18/1/14 and 19p a pk. On normal shelf.

    These are lovely but to me they don't taste as you would expect - I was expecting them just to be "salty" like any other ready salted crisps but there is almost an onion-y taste to them (it's hard to put my finger on the taste but I think onion-y covers it!). I could still eat a whole box in one go though :rotfl:

    To multi quote tick the double ballon go to next one and if you want to quote 2 just press quote:D

    I have found the bubbles, and pressed it ... and this came through. But there is a list of quotes below.

    Off to have a play, apologies for the next few posts x

    I loved Grange Hill, the cheek of some of the kids was shocking! I did GCE accounts, so learnt the way you did... it never added up!

    You can only quote 3 at a time doing it this way though - any more and it won't quote the first :)

    Aau, if you tried to teach me how to put multiple quotes in a post, it would cut down my posts dramatically and you would easily achieve your next star!

    One way is to click Quote on the post you want to quote, select all the text in the box, open up a text editor (Word, Notepad, Open Office, Text Edit, whatever) and paste in the text.
    (You can edit down the text if it's only a bit of the message you're replying to, as long as you keep the [QUOTE...] and [/QUOTE] bits at the beginning and end.)
    In the web browser, click the Back button, find the next post you want to quote, and repeat, as many times as you want.
    Just add your own comments in and amongst.
    Click on 'Post Reply', copy the text in the text editor and pasted it into the Reply box.

    Like this, for example….
    I wonder where technology will be in another 30 years
    I remember when the programme 'Chips' came out. I friend's mum asked if I wanted to see chips, I politely thanked and declined as I had had my tea!
    I am technically incapable, and appreciated the help but it is like hitting me with a wet fish!
