I've used them for years quite happily but all of a sudden can't access my account  Banghead

Nothing's changed at my end... password doesn't work... tried changing it.... still doesn't work...  Banghead

Anyone else?  P'raps they're suffering under the latest postal strike  shrugs:

Nope ~ sorry but mine is OK.

I should try their help desk. This happened to me about a year ago ..... they reset it all and no probs since.

I've sent them a fuming email via customer support. Hopefully they will sort it.

I was hoping to buy a book recommended to me by a man in a pub last night...  whistle:

Oh he's not still flogging his book is he ~ next thing he'll be round examining your bookshelves and, because you look after books and don't crease the spines to buggery, he'll accuse you of not reading it. ::)

It's an excellent book by John Walsh. But mine is also available on Amazon at reasonable rates. whistle:

You may be the only person ever to have read it!

We were discussing this one.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Are-You-Talking-Me-Through/dp/0007139306/ref=sr_1_2/026-7248374-9258844?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191660723&sr=1-2

 rubschin: Looks a bit Nick Hornby-ish to me but I'll add it to my library list and see if they have it when I next visit them. Trouble with the library is that just about everything they stock seems to be written by/for wimmin or Sci-fi fanatics .... some are both, of course.

Amazon have replied courteously - I'll sort it tomorrow by phone; I'm not even going to try doing it online  ::)

I use 2 libraries locally but there are sections I tend to avoid. Yesteday's sandwich drama was at the nearest which was holding an open day for the Archives. Curiously the actual archive section was closed  confused:
Special local historical interest groups promoting their activities mostly.

There's a Victorian Society somewhere round here too. They make appearances sometimes dressed up as, errr... Victorians  rubschin:
