I tend to never notice which forum something is in as I just click the "posts since last visit" link.....

I think the cumulative picture is at best confusing as it gives the impression of being a 3D picture. I disagree - the original mass of line shown first and then organised into cumulative graph with the colour coding and the names is excellent... I hadn't seen it that way before and I think it make...

Just tragic!

Much colder....

I think Hawkins Bazaar used to be just mail order. I'll admit I used to order some stuff from them for stocking fillers each Christmas. Whoopie cushions, wooden yo-yos, playing cards and various novelties of old fashioned humour.... They opened up in Belfast recently, and so this year I went up thin...

Think day care; think hired help; think boarding schools; in times past, think governesses; think wet nurses; think aristocracy illegitimate children. Guess I was thinking more along the ab...
