Here you go Derek27.
From Tesco.
"Want to make saving up for your Christmas 2021 a little easier?"
It's January!!!!!! Good grief!
You'd have to be pretty sad if Christmas is the next thing you look forward to. :lol:

I used to buy 10 pence saving stamps from the post office, when you've got 10 you can cash them in for £1! But why a grown man or woman would need to buy saving stamps is beyond me.

A few years ago Morrison's checkout staff were instructed to ask if you need help packing, even if you've just bought one item! Then they'd ask if you want any saving stamps!
Nasty hobbitses! :-)

We used to buy them for the grandchildren to let them stick them in savings cards. Encourages saving at an early age which is not a bad thing today.

1) Open the case, access your keyboard, remove the spacebar and clean the contacts between the spacebar and circuit board.

2) Don't leave a cup of tea next to your computer. I keep my beer at arms reach way from any computer. :)

You don't need spacebar, you can use copy/paste. Use your mouse to select the little space between any 2 words from say Derek's post and copy it (to your clipboard), and then just paste it after every word.

The shortcut for copy is CTRL+C and for paste is CTRL+V.

This post was made by copy/pasting space after every word :) What a time to be alive :o

The space doesn't have to be from one of my posts, any space would do the job. But I would be very honoured if you copy an ascii32 from one of my posts and drop a little credit at the end of your post. :D

Somebody used the self-service checkout and didn't pay their £33 bill. The woman who caught me walking the wrong way down the aisle and taking a carrier bag without paying for it stopped me and asked to see my receipt!!
