I have to have covers, absolutely hate my back being uncovered if nothing else. Some sort of blanket or sheet is essential to get to sleep.

I don’t know if the rest of that series is available, but there you go.

I vaguely recall the decimal ha’penny. I am old.

No, because the £ didn’t change, it was just divided up differently.

A pre-decimal £ is the same as a decimal £.

You could technically still pay in Shillings until they redesigned the 5p.

I’ve just given this a quick try in Windows (sorry, didn’t want to infect Linux with MS stuff) and… it’s pretty good.

I might install it in Linux although I’ll probably still use nano.

It’s like that Trump watch with the T missing. “I was expecting something with the integrity of the President”. Yeah, you got that.

I’m in England and my language is set to English, yet for some reason when I was browsing AliExpress a few weeks ago it was stuck in German and I couldn’t see how to change it. Go to the homepage - German. Click on a result from a search engine - German.

I don’t know where it got that from, it wasn’t the IP either as from a computer on the same address it was fine.

They are also manufactured in the UK.

Yes, you only know what you’ve experienced. If everything’s blurry, that’s normal.

I know when I got my glasses, the optician said to look across the road with my glasses on. There was a brick wall the other side and I could see it clearly. I was amazed and said as much. I don’t think my sight had always been bad but it must have been bad for long enough for that to be a revelation.

Haha, maybe I should? And the banner?

I’ve not been to Bucharest airport so I don’t know how big it is or how it is laid out. However, usually you will go to check-in and baggage drop for Lufthansa - they will have an area which is labelled up, you might need to walk around a bit but the check-in areas should all be next to each other - and they will give you a boarding pass. You then need to follow the signs to the gates. That will take you through security and usually to an area with duty-free shopping. You’ll see some boards there which will tell you which gate you need (look for your destination and the flight time or number). Sometimes they don’t announce it until the last minute. You’ll then need to follow the signs to that gate, it can be a bit of a trek if it’s a big airport (allow plenty of time to get there - I’ve had it where I’ve walked a fair way, past lots of other gates, then ended up having to get a monorail, followed by a bit more walking). When you are at the gate, wait until they call you for boarding. If it’s a big plane you’ll walk down a tunnel directly onto it, otherwise you’ll be sent outside and have to climb up the steps.

Airports can be a bit daunting but they tend to be very well signposted and lots of staff around to ask if you get lost.

Enjoy your trip!

(Also don’t get used to business class - he’s been generous there, you’re very lucky)

In English I think it was commonly written as “y”. Hence the shops with “ye” on them.

Nope. Some people do care though. I’m more concerned with the interest rate as it makes a big difference to my mortgage.

Yep, I’ve never needed to ask a question on Stack Overflow as everything I’ve searched for has been answered already… or I’ve looked elsewhere for the answer as I’m not allowed to upvote, downvote or ask questions on it anyway due to lack of karma (or whatever they call it). No wonder it’s in decline if nobody new is allowed to contribute, and every new question is closed as a duplicate.

Ryanair are awful. I’d rather pay a bit more and not have to put up with their nonsense. They are the lowest of the low.

A Short Hike is ace!

Florence - it’s short and sweet.

Aha! I turned the notification volume off, not the ring volume. That works, thank you. Still shouldn’t be necessary but at least I can shut it up now!

Unfortunately that doesn’t help on stock Android.

My workaround is to ask Gemini to take a screenshot. It’s ridiculous but it works.
