I see. The highest volt we use here, I think, is 220 volts and that would only be for something of an extremely high requirement. I can remember when electic stoves needed a 220 V outlet/line put in.

See, Angela, I fried that egg in something disgusting - no calorie spray on fat. I couldn't eat that egg - that's "sunny side up", I think. I would have to have mine "easy over", and they don't photograph so good. You are right about Lucy's placemat, but that china is my everyday from Boots. In fact, it's not china it's MUGGEN as they say in Liverpool. My best is lovely, but bought at Safeways on some sort of offer, quite recently. It's Royal Doulton "Augustine" Marj > How many attempts at getting that yolk looking just perfect Marged, go on > own up. > --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

it's all to do with having a special printer that the camera can send the photographs to DIRECT - I don't want this as mostly I don't want to print my own photographs. I just like to see them on screen, and if I want to print them, I send them by internet to Jessops and get them back within five working days.

I wonder why things are so different, here and there. The only time this *might* be an issue is during a lightening storm but we have surge protectors on things like the TV and PC to protect them.

WHEN I'M AN OLD LADY When I'm an old lady, I'll live with each kid, And bring so much happiness, just as they did. I want to pay back all the joy they've provided. Returning each deed! Oh, they'll be so excited! (When I'm an old lady and live with my kids) I'll write on the wall with reds, whites and blues, and I'll bounce on the furniture, wearing my shoes. I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out. I'll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they'll shout! (When I'm and old lady and live with my kids) When they're on the phone and just out of reach, I'll get into things like sugar and bleach. Oh, they'll snap their fingers and then shake their head, And when that is done, I'll hide under the bed! (When I'm an old lady and live with my kids) When they cook dinner and call me to eat, I'll not eat my green beans or salad or meat, I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table, And when they get angry. I'll run, if I'm able! (When I'm an old lady and live with my kids) I'll sit close to the TV, through the channels I'll click. I'll cross both eyes just to see if they stick. I'll take off my socks and throw one away, And play in the mud till the end of the day! (When I'm an old lady and live with my kids) And later in bed, I'll lay back and sigh, I'll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes. My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping, And say with a groan, "She's so sweet when she's sleeping!" I was thinking about old age. I decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball but you're just too tired to bounce it. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
