I've always found just one to be sufficient, and have never felt the need for more. However a country called Ukogbani, does sound quite exotic.

I seldom take any notice of the times of messages, only whether they are new. Your post shows as "Today 10:56:51" here. My current actual time is 11:24 am.

Ctrl+x, Ctrl+z?

Angle for something to have and eat.

A "first lady" has no official position, or title. She could be addressed in exactly the same manner as she had been before her husband was elected. However, Mrs Roosevelt was very widely admired and respected for her charitable work.

when the people of the panel shake hands with the visitors, the males stand, and the females remain seated.

Is that not normal etiquette?

Mrs Roosevelt, as a past "First Lady", was no doubt felt to demand greater respect.

Maybe Windsor is more appropriate anyway.

there’s a classic fail in the autogenerated captions

A bit earlier it also says "I'm wandering" instead of "I'm wondering". That is perhaps excusable. The difference is sound is subtle. The former being pronounced as "wondering" and the latter as "wundering".

Why are own label versions cheaper?

No advertising costs.

As Joe points out, the manufacturer is likely to be the same for both products.

No

No.

I find both Gordon's and Paul's video most interesting. Albert's and Eric's too. Keep 'em coming, please.

Please say where that happened

West Croydon, and maybe a few other places. When I was still at school I had a Saturday job at a greengrocer's delivering orders by tradesman's bike https://onlinebicyclemuseum.co.uk/wp-co … DESMAN.jpg or costermonger's wheel barrow http://theragandboneman.blogspot.com/20 … arrow.html

A few customers, including a small childrens'-home phoned in their orders, although of course most customers did not have telephones then.

There is, as far as I aware, no restriction about the discussion only being related to people with very limited income.

Of course not, but this sub-topic followed my comments about people spending money they do not have, so do have limited incomes.

People placed grocery orders by phone long before computers were available.

We are discussing needs of people with very limited income. I do not know whether this includes William, or anyone else here, but somehow doubt it.

Don't you have a telephone?

Are the following needed or not?

Joe, nothing in your list is needed, except perhaps in very exceptional circumstances.

in today's climate a lot of people cannot afford to spend in any circumstances because prices are far too high anyway. In short, people cannot overspend because they do not have the money to do so

Many of the current financial problems of such people would be eased if this were indeed the case. Unfortunately they are bombarded with offers of credit, in the form of cards, bank loans, hire/purchase etc, that encourages them to continue spending money they do not have on things they do not need. H/p used to be called rather more appropriately, the "never-never"!

I've tried everything I can think of, short of a ctrl + start-up reset.

Then try that. It worked for me.

Something you posted in the old Serif Lounge

I do not remember. Perhaps it was pointing out that it should be "rung" not "rang" in the 5th line.

Don't you find the subject of emojis representing people who wear glasses totally fascinating and absorbing

No. I find it fascinating that some people do.

I actually filmed this the other night.

I think you mentioned before that the singer also sang opera. He has a good voice.

Is that your wife, with the hair, walking across behind him? Now fully recovered from covid?

I remember Broad St Station. It was Midland Region, ex-LMS I believe, rather than Eastern Region (ex-LNER) as was Liverpool St Station. I had, and still have, relatives in the Maldon and Colchester areas, so we used Liverpool St Station fairly often. The 133 bus from Croydon, where we lived, terminated there, which was convenient. Still does, I believe.

The electric trains at Broad St used a third rail similar to the Southern Railway system.

There are no passenger trains anywhere near me these days. No buses either.
