  • Thanks everyone. It was a jolly day and all done now.

    I got a refund from the fake pen drive. I wish Approved Food were as efficient. They delivered half my order and are being so useless about refunding the half they "lost".

    After 14 years, I'd have a little more than that! But each end of term, I ensure the place is fit for someone else to come in and use - just in case I don't make it back. Always have though, thus far...
