But you can save up to $1,200 with their 10% off deal with this one, and perhaps spend it on a ticket to a film festival.
I like muesli too, and have it now and again. It is available in most stores, at least in this area (maybe because the only brand, Bob's red Mill, is Oregon based) but it's not as popular here as in Europe and UK. There's a wider choice of granola, but that tends to be too sweet for my taste. Added sugar is the American way! The only time I've seen Alpen, was in the Grocery Outlet, a store that sells off discontinued or overstocked products.
Weetabix seems to be disappearing here too.
Thanks Alfred. I remember Sainsbury's used to sell their own-brand wheat flakes, which from the size, shape, taste and packaging was obviously made for them by the makers of Force.
Reading the comments on the Grocer site, I see someone mentions Grape Nuts Flakes by Post. I don't know if they are available in the UK, but they are readily available here, and are indeed very similar to Force.
With no Kennedy's sausages or Force in the UK, eases any homesickness I may feel!
Hi Moth,
Glad to have helped. I seldom use DrawPlus, since PagePlus is capable of most things.
About the bus: it developed slowly!
Much of my career with MoT involved buses, which in South London were mainly London Transport.
That particular one is roughly the same age as me.
The placard on the side reads "Community Bus" inspired by Serif's "Community Plus".
It is actually a model given away by Force Wheat Flakes (my favourite breakfast cereal from way back - taken over by Nestle's and killed).
The background photo was taken in my backyard here in Washington State, on beautiful starry night.
The bus being in my backyard was inspired by the old joke about a drunk taking the bus home because he was in no fit state to drive his car.

Maybe it was simply doing a Windows update. This can take several, even many, minutes.
aligning the top of the characters to a circle.
See illustration: dragging the blue dot along the blue line will adjust the text position relative to the circle.
By the way, I'm getting crashes as Alfred described, but managed eventually. I'll try to find out how!
My "home" territory having grown up in SE24
Hi Eric.
My home territory was SE25, north part of Croydon. Although despite being the next number, it is not adjacent to SE24.
Kennedy's was based in Peckham, which is very adjacent to SE24. Their pork sausages were the very best I ever found - absolutely scrumptious! Seeing at them sizzling in that video makes my mouth water! Way better than Wall's or Harris's, and anything you could buy in a supermarket.
Unfortunately they failed to survive my move to the US! The world has lost a great delicacy!
Geoff
But that's not all! The third candidate also has a British sausage connection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPI1Y_S2Q2g
I've just realised that the Democrat candidates both have some connection to two top brand British sausages and meat pies. Harris and Wall's.
As far as I remember (I no longer have PPX5 installed) the Cutout Studio is included in PPX5. That will allow you to eliminate any part of an image you choose. Have you tried it?
I guess you are using version X5.
You could use the Cutout Studio, or, if the white is pure, that is has exactly the same rgb values throughout, you could use Format/Picture/Picture Transparency.
Note that jpg does not support transparency, so you'll need png or gif.
Hi Jennymac, welcome to the forum.
Try Resetting PagePlus. Keep the CTRL key pressed as you open it.

I don't see and attach option.
I think you will see one if you "edit" your answer.
ARM (Acorn RISC Machine) itself dates back to the late 1980s
Wow! My fist computer, back then, was a BBC B, which was Acorn! Allowing for inflation, that machine was a little more expensive than my latest laptop! My 9-pin Epson printer back then, was much more expensive compared to my current HP (but the ink tapes were much cheaper than HP's refills!)
Thanks, Alfred. I never knew there were different types of Windows for different computer setups.
I thought I might try this offer. I don't really have any need to 'upgrade' from PP, PhP or DP, but it would be interesting to try Affinity, and maybe I'll get hooked.
But having got to the download page (see picture) I can't make out what I need to download. There seems to be 4 files each for the three Affinity programs (for Windows). Which do I need, of do I need all of them?
And only four months to the election. This calls for desperate, panic measures.
Let's see, the UK election was announced, over and done with, and the new administration installed, in, what was it, less than 2 months? And in France it was even quicker. How is this possible? In the US it takes that long for the election winner to be installed.
Biden rather foolishly said something about putting Trump in the bullseye. I seem something very similar coming from Trump in reference to Hillary Clinton some eight years ago. The difference of course can be seen in their statements following this shooting. Biden called for calm and utterly condemned such violence. Trump, on the other hand, raised his fist and shouted "Fight, fight, fight."
As Alfred says, the PDF file will already be saved. It will be in the same folder as you have the .ppp version, probably Documents.
If you right-click the .pdf version you will get the option to open it in Adobe Reader. If you do open it in PagePlus do not "Save" it without changing the name, or your original .ppp version will be overwritten and lost.
I don't know what you are doing, but try this.
Open your .ppp file
On the File menu select Publish As
Select PDF on the list that appears
On the dialogue that appears, I suggest you select PDF/X-1a as Profile
Leave Preview PDF file checked
Under Options select Impose Pages (if that is what you want)
Under Prepress uncheck the items you do not require (all of them if you just want the PDF to be read)
Click Publish
You will get a file with the same name as your .ppp file, but the extension will be .pdf, and it will automatically open in your PDF reader (Acrobat Reader?)
The question as written is nonsensical, and absolutely unacceptable in an exam.
Perhaps the problem is the recipient's PDF reader. Have you checked the PDF version yourself using Adobe Reader? Or even just PagePlus? NOTE: If you do open it in PagePlus do not "save" it without changing the name, or the original .PPP file will be overwritten.
I have done exactly what 2ndtonunn has reported, with no problems at all.
My phone company sent me four emails today. The first one tells me there is an ongoing internet outage, and the next three give various estimates of when the service may be resumed.
Hi Vicki,
That's not something I've ever done, but at the risk of stating the obvious, have you looked up PDF Forms in Help? There is quite a bit there.
Yes, PPX9 works fine in Windows 11.
