    We're still at crossed posts :heehee: (The '3 years ago ... should have told me' ... was in reference to nFrost posts and the Shakey Shakey seasoning ...*not* in response to your replies regarding Utility companies :heehee: ).

    Knowing my luck, being 3 months ago (ish) since I moved, it would still be turned into a paper aeroplane .... or maybe not: one of the induction "games" at Uni was to fold a paper plane and all on my team (18yo's) were completely flummoxed by it. I just got on and made it and they were in awe :roflol: (Our team won: my plane flew the furthest :blue thumb: )

      It's a sad reflection on the modern generation that they're unable to make a paper plane :sad:. It used to be compulsory at my shops that all staff entered the company's annual paper plane competition. Practice was allowed at any time as long as it didn't interfere with customers :heehee:

      Our indoor record was 54ft :blue thumb: (the full length of the shop). Competition moved outdoors into the pedestrianised square if there was no wind. Other shops joined in the competition. :)

            Thank you Val

            As sufferers we are realistic that it is a long slow battle for universal understand, answers and effective treatments. Hopefully in my life time they will get there. :-)

            I get my dual energy from Ovo, as a supplier, I can't fault their customer service and they pay 3% interest on all credit accounts. That's more than my savings account!

              That's your browser Shiney, GC hasn't got a spell checker, uses up too many resources, see if you can reset yours to proper English :)

                Had a look.

                Tools - Manage Add-ons - Spelling - English (United Kingdom) Default

                So my browser is already set correctly.

                Any other ideas? :scratch:

                  Control panel >clock, language and region > language :)

                  See if it's set to English US, you can change it there :)

                    I've got the same problem as you Shiney. I've just tried what Ziggy suggested and I get an option of English only, neither US or English/English. :doh:
