    I met a lot of racists there, and my mates dad had his mobility scooter stolen from his front porch. Only small incidents I know, but enough to put us off when we were considering leaving London.

    Would second Ed's suggestion for that part of the world. Also, a friend's parents retired to St Neots (personally I hate that place).

    DJ unbuttoned with sleeves rolled / pushed up
    Any (baggy / pleated?) trousers / jeans.
    whatever footwear - plimsoles / espadrilles / trainers - just not brogues.

    I did all this myself and never paid anyone. The reading to get up to speed was a bit formidable, and the fear that I might land up in jail for doing something wrong was fairly high at first, but after I got the hang of it it was fairly simple. You can buy a book of share certificates - just keep track of who gets which, and which ones are cancelled. The tax office seemed to change their requirements every two or three years, but if you send it all in early, and it's wrong, they'll just send it back with a note, and you change it.

    Plenty of people will do it for you, and charge you big money for it.

    Your laptop has no way of directly connecting to the printer? You can’t run another ethernet cable from the router to the printer?

    Since we are telling statin stories…

    I’m a prime candidate for them, fair enough, but I started sleep walking, going to my bookcase in the living room, pulling out a random book and eating the front page! We only found out when we started finding ruined books.

    So I don’t take them now. I’m trying to do more risky activities to compensate.

    Hard for her when it’s that young.

    Yep, I’m high risk, so I have a scan every two years now, and lots of meds to keep the blood pressure down.
