They assume that we're all going to be affected in the same way by their choice of music! Awful, isn't it? David -- David Rance writing from Caversham, Reading, UK http://www.mesnil.demon.co.uk |

My computers don't support sound, either in hardware or software, except on a laptop (where I can't disable the former except by cutting wires). It turns out to be quite advantageous.

Agree about the music, but my comment is, isn't it labour intensive? Very. I just wonder if it's an old film as I know they no longer make their proper forged Stainless Steel Fork and Spade in the UK because of the cost. They ended up over £100 each so very few were bought despite them being the best. I can't believe that the cost differential between normal steel and stainless could be such that they can still make ordinary steel spades and sell them for a competitive price if they couldn't with stainless, the labour costs must be about the same. So, are they really still forging stuff by hand in the UK? -- Regards Bob Hobden |

Unfortunately, in my line of business I need the sound. But I do usually turn the sound off for such web-sites.
