...and I drive a PHEV which I don't charge away from home base. Have you seen some of the locations for charging? Like, a field in the middle of nowhere? Give me somewhere where I could shelter away from -40 degree winds or not have to walk half a mile to get a coffee and I may be more receptive but as it stands, PHEV is as far as I go. Something like this - https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hyundai.com%2Fworldw...

That's only some of the English people. Others, like myself refer to the continent as a whole - including the UK.

Oops. Birmingham is within the continent of Europe, just not in the European Union (EU).

Roundabouts also work a lot better than traffic signals when the power is lost.

Maybe the puppet master is pulling the strings.

I'd do it again if it didn't involve EBCDIC.

We're talking 1987 here. RPGIII should give it away.

First day, first ever contract in the UK the conversation literally went like this:

Client: Ah, you're the RPGIII Guys?
Us: Er....no?
Client: Oh, then you must be CICS Cobol!
Us: Er........no??
Client: Don't worry, you'll soon pick it up.

And we did.

Amen to that one!

Any time you have one piece of information serving two roles you are opening yourself up to problems down the line.

When the indian-sounding person calls asking if dad is sitting in front of the computer, he says "no, it's in the other room, would you like me to turn it on?".

Scammer: Yes.
Dad: Ok give me a few moments....

Then after going to make a cup of tea and finally returning to the phone...

Dad: Who are you?
Scammer: I was phoning about your computer...
Dad: It's in the other room....should I go and turn it on?

etc..etc..

Were because these asshats would prevent me from leaving the web page when I was redirected there...
