Louisa doesn't shop at Iceland. She's too busy shopping in Space NK and going skiing.

Surely some of them could release half a million pounds or so of equity from the house they bought back in the day for ?10 - and get their shopping delivered by Ocado?

If I lived in a small town, or was particularly well known, or had a thousand Facebook friends who aren't actually my friends, or didn't know how to use the privacy settings properly, or had my address anywhere on the web, I might be concerned. However I don't, I'm not, I don't, I do and I don't.. so I think it'll be fine.

No, I'm just not paranoid about things that are very very unlikely to happen.

Do you have a lot of Facebook friends who are burglars then?

Oscar Mayer (or whatever it's called now) bacon, Warburtons white toastie, Heinz tommy K. That's all you need.

I'll bet you a packet of cheese tasters it'll do ok!

Either They've made a terrible mistake Or They've looked at the demographic, done their sums, and worked out it'll do fine without both of those things. Bearing in mind the investment cost, I think we'll have to assume the latter.

That said, if had I known I could have been within an arms reach of a packet of cheese tasters within a mere decade, it still might have been worth it.

Some people moved here when there were no cars - and a tram. And 'penny chews' were in fashion. But things change. If parking is a nightmare, no-one will drive to M&S (a 'convenience' store) because it won't be 'convenient'. You only have to make one trip for a bottle of prosecco in your Range Rover (?m&slazystereotypes) and spend fifteen minutes driving around the block trying to find somewhere to park - to be put-off doing it on a regular basis. Things will find their natural level, which might be busier. But then we looked at some houses around there ten years ago and the streets were jammed-up enough even back then to be happier a bit further out.

On the downside, you live next to a busy high street. The busier the high street gets, the more you get/lose depending on what you want from it, that's all there is to it.

I'm gonna be first in line to get a bag of cheese tasters, maybe two. I'm literally quivering with anticipation. Beyond that, long-term plan: well, if there's a picnic somewhere or we're going camping and can't be arsed doing anything more stressful than drinking heavily and tearing the cellophane lid of something pre-prepared and edible - count me in.

Everweb.. I have seen that one mentioned. Looks fine. I assumed the place would be crawling with standalone easy web apps, but it looks like the choice is actually quite limited. I suppose trying to tie you in to an ongoing payment/subscription is very much 'the thing' these days. Cheers All

That's the sort of thing.. Looks like PC only though, alas

Agree completely Joe n Dave et al Those that believe that Corbyn (Cor-Byn! COR-BYN!) has *any* chance of winning a GE simply have no idea how a GE is won and lost. That said, I suspect his most devoted supporters don't even care anyway - so it's all moot.

Perhaps I have explained poorly. Up till now, I knocked something up on iWeb, then paid for hosting somewhere else to host it. Jobsagoodun. I will continue to pay for the hosting (with the same provider probably) but want (to buy) another program to make the website in. Something easy like iWeb (and for a Mac, obvs) but with a bit more functionality, not a lot - rollovers, responsive pages, an ftp download area - but that sort of thing. What I don't want it a combined make-your-website-and-host-it-with-us-package because I'd like to keep them separate and not tie the two together. Thank you kindly for the responses.

Dunno.. but suspect both those places try to entice you in with the promise of a free website builder but then you have to pay for their hosting. If you stop paying for the hosting you probably lose the website as well. But thanks for the suggestions anyway!

As I say, I'd like to buy a standalone application/program rather than those sorts of packages.

Any web-type folks out there that can offer a pointer or two? I've been googling but it's hard to see through the marketing/sales trees to see the particular bit of wood I'm looking for. I have a nuts-and-bolts website I made and update with iWeb which has done the job years now - and is a pieces of piss to use. Can anyone recommend something 'up' from iWeb that is just as piss easy to use but offers a bit more functionality? Rollovers, responsive pages, possibly a basic ftp download area.. that sort of thing, but drag n drop like iWeb, no coding or any of that stuff. I'd prefer a one-off application I buy rather than one of the monthly 'lease' affairs. Thanks FORUMMERS!

Hopefully the rules will be interpreted as Corbyn requiring 50 PLP nominations to stand - and Labour will subsequently implode. Perhaps then - out of the ashes - something less risible will eventually emerge.

Clearly no-one serious is willing to sacrifice themselves on the bonfire while 'Corbynmania' plays itself out. We won't see anyone serious pop-up until Jeremy has finished his rock star tour of Freshers Balls, depleted his loudhailer batteries, run the Labour bus into a brick wall - and tanked at the (real) polls.

Four pages - good going. This is a lame thread - on a comparatively tame internet forum. Best course of action imo - leave leave threads to sink as they deserve rather than bless them with four pages.

Farage is a bell-end but I don't find myself angry with him personally. He's a reflection of everything that was quietly lurking in Britain all along; apathy, fear, envy, disappointment. Nige didn't create them - he was the conduit channelling it all - riding the crest of fortuitous timing and poor judgment made on the other side. It's just a shame that so many of his supporters can somehow reconcile their victory along sovereignty lines, despite knowing full well that for every one of them with noble motivation there's someone else ticking the leave box who just thinks there are 'too many pakis', or whatever.
