    I really miss the 4/5 months of sunshine we used to get when i was a child :
    May hot
    June hotter
    July very hot
    August very hot
    September hot
    October pleasant

    Global warming isn’t working well for us here in the green isle!,

    Well the childer have talked me into gettin' one o'dem Revolut cards. Holy moley, what has the worrild come to! So I downloads de app, see, and I starts fillin' in all me essential information like........and den it froze, it froze I tells ya! So me youngest child got on her magic phone and 'chats' to Revolut about me problem. Even me child didn't know wot dey wur talkin' about. So I deleted dat app yoke straight away. Now I'm after gettin' an email from Revolut and I've just read 35 pages of tees and cees, and I'm still none de wiser. Aw let's just go back to pounds, shillins and pence, please. It'll save me a lot of worry and frettin'. I'm fair fed up with it all so I yam. :(

    Ok, so I googled it.
    Buy crypto, gold and manage your money with spending analytics

    Almost the first sentence on the site. I don't feel any need to buy crypto (wut?), I am not likely to buy gold, and after some 7 decades of handling money I don't need analytics to tell me when I am overspending.

    So, no thanks. I'm good. On-line banking I admit to being a convert to, but whatever revolut is, I can manage without.

    Well seemingly you can transfer money onto the Revolut card, then you can just pay for your shopping or anything you buy and there are no annual charges or fees. The kids don't use it for anything else. We wouldn't do that crypto thing at all. We get charged fees on our credit cards and I hoped by getting the Revolut we could avoid the fees. Also the kids, when they are away, can use the Revolut and are not charged for currency exchange. Sounded good to me.

    I have a Monzo card which is very similar but needs a UK address. I find it handy for travelling and buying small items like a coffee. I also am happier using it for online stuff. It instantly registers a sale on your phone (app), an audible sound of coins falling :) and you see your balance etc. I only put a certain amount of money onto it so if it is lost, stolen or hacked, the loss is limited. It has come to my rescue several times when I found I had mislaid the main credit card. No problem using it in Euroland. It has other fancy features that I dont use. I can also send money to my daughter in UK who has same card.

    The charges I was referring to were from the credit card companies, not the bank charges. Revolut don't charge fees.

    That sounds the same as Revolut.

    I like the visuals of the new system but I am a bit worried about using the look button. The new like buttons seems to be a link to facebook, but maybe its just my paranoia - I will try to like you post Garlinge and we will see what happens!

    It just seems to count likes as opposed to showing the name of the user who did the liking.

    If you hover over the button it'll show a list of names, but it's a pain. I'm sure it'll get fixed, eventually. I guess they couldn't afford to wait to go live any longer.

    If you click on the 'follow thread' icon at the top of the page, the one that looks like a little banner, it will tell you in notifications - the bell icon - that there is another post, so at least you can find the threads you want to follow quite easily.

    If you are on desktop/laptop its the little banner icon at the top of the page, if you click it it will turn solid blue and you will be notified of posts. If you are on mobile/touch(?) I think it is a gear icon but I don't use it so I am not sure.

    The seasons, listed in my order of preference are as follows: Autumn, Winter, Spring and finally Summer. I'm thankful that the danged oppressive heat is now past and we are heading into woolly jumper times.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    Can't disagree with you OG. I got less gardening done in last week's heat than most days in winter. Fine, bright and cooler, like today, suits me.

    By the way, has anyone noticed the "View latest post" on the old 'Wakey Wakey Rise & Shine' thread? It's Cicero in 2011! Or am I reading that right?
