    Leaky roofs! Of all places, directly above the fuse box in the old part of the house. Can't tread on the outside as the tiles are completely shot so was crawling in filthy old roof space to get to the holes.

          On my taskbar there is a part that shows the current weather here (comes there automatically and I can't be bothered to see whether I can remove it).

          Why would I want to be told what the current weather is here when I can look out of the window and get a much more accurate report? :scratch: At the moment it's wrong, anyway! :doh:

            Ah the joys of quaint old buildings, eh? It's called 'character', I believe :biggrin: Very satisfying once it's all sorted out, though. Bon courage!:)

            Right click on the taskbar and switch it off. The thingy is one of those bits that check where your server lives and tries hard to be helpful. My computer thinks I live in Wallsend so I'm well aware if it happens to rain over there, and when I google anything I'm told what related delights Wallsend shops may tempt me with.

            On a positive note, I might make a daytrip there now that I'm so well educated on the local eateries and know where to buy novelty toilet roll holders. :biggrin:

              But then I may not have anything to shout at when I switch my computer on! Remember, I'm The President Of The Grumpy Old Men's Club :nonofinger: :old:

                3rd leak and the tiles are not in good shape having weathered through. Will get it replaced sooner or later though :)

                  Thankfully he turned it off! :biggrin: So I don't know but I wasn't enthralled by what I saw.

                    Knock on the door this afternoon.

                    A very friendly man said he had come to apologise for the noise on Saturday from their lorry/machine (parked outside) but they had been cleaning a neighbour's roof.

                    He gave me his card and said that they could get all the moss of our roof for us. I said 'No thanks' but he continued to say that there's no point in us cleaning our gutters if the moss is left on the roof. So I said that I had been cultivating the moss for years and it provides excellent insulation. Not much he could say after that :roflol:
