Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Windows 8 was just an unmitigated disaster IMHO. It was designed for mobile phone users who were happy to just swipe across the screen but when on laptops and desktops it was pretty much unusable. My...

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Agreed - September was sunny and mild but October has been wet and windy so far - for large parts of the UK - and more to come. I wonder what weather forecast cheers is looking at :sneaky:

I think this time the track has been damaged much worse than on previous occasions. It does usually stop running during bad storms but opens pretty soon once the storm has abated. This time the sea...
