It's all very cockney isn't it?

That sounds a lot better (and looks it). I hate the full screen tiled menu thing. Meh. Roll on Windows 10 then! Thanks for sharing thelegalstop.

I agree about Facebook. it is tedious with all the adverts now, constantly seeing boosted posts. You seem to get virtually no exposure without paying. 

I haven't seen much about ello and I hate the name..Did you ever use it much? There are too many social media platforms as it is! 

Snoooooore. 

I am on my local one! I used it once to try and borrow some parking permits last minute. It didn't work but someone did advise me about new parking permits. I actually stepped outside and spoke to a neighbour in the end...I haven't looked at it again really! They email me all the time.

This seems to happen with shops rather a lot...little shops that set up to sell Christmas goods or other random crud. They then shut down and reopen with a different name. I came across it when I worked for a council, as we'd be chasing up business rates...it's an absolute nightmare! It's ridiculous this loophole exists!

Shame, it would have been far funnier if it had meant something else!

This sort of thing gets my goat! I would happily tell them 'good day and goodbye' but I recently found out my parents had a dodgy call and nearly went along with it. They only stopped when they asked for details. They are both really bright people but just a little bit too trusting. It disgusts me that they target older people especially. I am thinking of just ditching my landline as it only seems to attract crank calls but Virgin told us the monthly payment would go up by a £1 without it?! Bah.

It definitely doesn't matter much on a forum or on Twitter/Facebook as it's all so instant, you can't mess about checking everything before you click send/post. On a printed leaflet on a website though...that's bad news brown! (anyone know that reference?)

I have that set up too....I used to join in with the local Twitter hours but I just don't have time as it's always when my little girl is going to bed and it's probably the worst time of the day to try and tweet for me!
