    Photo Repair Please

    Hi Paul. Not sure if you were after a tidy-up or just info about the shop. Whichever, I've removed some of the blotches and sent the chap's overalls to the laundry.

    tidy up please

    Can't see much wrong with this one! However I've sharpened it up slightly and lightened the top row a bit.

    Kings Norton; where is this?

    Kings Norton Church is on high ground and there certainly isn't a stream nearby. Artist with a good imagination I think!

    Austin Village, Turves Green

    I would be surprised if this hasn’t been mentioned before but I’ve done a search and couldn’t find anything. However if I’ve repeated previous posts I apologise! I’ve just read a book (see below) which included detail of an area of Turves Green originally known as Longbridge Estate, later...

    Posting Photos

    When I attach a photo to a post as a thumbnail I just see the photo whereas everyone else's pic has the file name, size and number of views underneath it. I've tried 'Attach Files' and 'Insert Image' but both give the same result. It probably doesn't matter but I would like to know why!!!

    I think it's all relative! My W10 tower is now VERY slow so makes the laptop look like it's turbo-charged! The tower is i3-4170 CPU @ 3.70GHz with 8GB ram but was installed in 2020 and with all the messing about I do trying out different applications (and Microsoft's inability to keep the OS...

    This surprises me Izzy as I am well impressed with W11. I have a mid-range Acer Laptop i5 processor at 1GHz, 8GB ram. 1st start 16 secs to log-in screen (local password) + 10 secs to full desktop. Recovery from sleep about 1 sec. You must be loading some pretty heavy stuff!

    Vehicle Tax

    Received a letter from the DVLA this morning titled Last Chance Reminder, pointing out that my car tax was due on 1st August. I certainly hadn't had a reminder before today so have they stopped sending them? I paid online immediately and then received confirmation by email that they had received...
