    Had anyone noticed that there are problems in the site when you @ people? Sometimes I get two sets of options or only a  few letters of the name. I've found that the only way to sort it is to post and edit.

    Sometimes @B3 … but not always … it worked perfectly fine just now for your name 😉

    I've noticed it puts a 'return' after the '@' name, but not when it's copied in a quote. IT Trickery!

    Well that was certainly lucky. Did you tell him?

    A bunch of blokes in their 20's.  What do you think? :D

    It's still very hit and miss. It also still separates the @ and name from the next bit of text sometimes. It can help if you don't leave a space after the name, but it doesn't always work.

    We had for many years,very pretty goldfish in our raised pond. They have a heater, which they all sit round in the winter. They've always been very personable,and come up to say hello, even in the cold months when they aren't being fed. They've always been a great source of joy, the grandkids love to go out and say hi,and get a finger sucked.  As if this week hasn't been rubbish enough, about a week ago,there was a ruddy great heron sitting on nextdoors  fence. Never seen one here before. The pond has a cover made of chicken wire with a wooden surround. It's a good 12 inches above the water. Had a gentle swish around,can only see one fish,there was 12.

    Oh no Nanny Beach, could they be just hiding under things. I do hope so.

    Almost the minute I'd filled the new pond here last year, a heron appeared on my neighbour's garage roof. Loads of them round here - and they aren't daft, by any means.  ;)

    As we've been documenting the petrol prices here, I passed the local petrol station. Petrol is now £1.60 [bar the penny] and diesel is £1.80 [bar the penny]
     
    I'm now wondering if they're just chancing their arm in there, because there's loads of wealthy folk round here with Beamers and huge Range Rovers etc, who won't bother what price it is. Certainly no shortage of folk using it.

    My options are, pay whatever the fuel costs, or not go visit Hubby.
