      I'm up the road from you. Well 12 miles anyway. I've had 2 calls from a so called Environment or Energy company trying to pass themselves off as a "national" organisation. "Hello, I'm "#aZVD" , your energy advisor." When I brusquely said "What's that about then",  he rang off. Pass the word on.

  2. So does this forum have a dark Theme I can switch to? The white background hurts my eyes on 34" ultrawide.

      As a temporary expedient - ( and using Firefox - can't speak for the other browsers ) go to -
      Menu - Settings  ;  scroll down to "Language and Appearance" and under Fonts & Colours, select Colours.  On the Background option, click the rectangle and the colour palette appears. Select a tone that suits you and lighten it with the side strip. Save your choice.

      Under "override the colours" select always.

      It's far from infallible, but it works on Basschat and the BBC. If you see some features or text disappearing elsewhere, then you'll have to cancel the setting.

      OR
      With Windows 10, Go to Settings - System - display - & turn on the night light slider. If you click on Nite-Light Settings there are more options.

  3. I've been out of work with stress for a couple of years.

    Had a job interview earlier today - just had a message to say they were very impressed and asked if I can start next Monday.

    Now what can I spend that money on???

      Excellent news.

      The first few commutes (seen the other thread) will be the worst, then it settles down.

      When you get back home tell yourself you've done a good job to-day, then clear your head by taking your dog for a walk.

      It's boring I know, but at this time of year spend the money on de-icer, anti-freeze & motor-oil.

      Best of luck.
