    If it is a PC search for the regional settings and set it to UK. You may also have to tell it that it is a UK keyboard. It will then do what normal UK keyboards do, whatever is printed on the keys.

    Thank you for reply:)

    A genuine question.

    What do the gritters do when they are not gritting?

    There must be a huge amount of money tied up in them by local councils.

    Do they have a summer job? Or do they stand idle for the majority of the year?

    They spread salt in the winter and pepper in the summer. Why else do you think so many people have watery eyes and sneezing fits in the summer ?

    You need an account with no money that will not allow you to go into overdraft - seems a high risk unless it is guaranteed not to pay? I know FG seems to have fallen okay with this but am not clear how you would identify an account that would reject.

    You have no need to at the moment if 0% fees anyway :).
