    Grandpa's Prize

    This book was presented to my grandfather in 1886 when he would have been 6 years old. The only Smith Street school I can find was in Hockley although at the time I think he lived in Floodgate Street which seems a fair distance away!

    It could be overheating. Make sure the vents are free of dust. Or a loose connection between the base and the screen.

    Could probably have saved a load of time by just reinstalling the existing driver. Driver corruption is fairly common and the following method usually works. Go into Device Manager, click on the appropriate item to open the list and right click on the driver. Click 'uninstall device' then reboot...

    About 2 more inches of snow during the night and this morning a set of mysterious 'footprints' in the front garden. Took me a few minutes to work out what had made them (well I am a bit slow first thing!). Any guesses?

    Searching for my Uncle's grave.

    I asked a guy whom I presume was a groundsman if he could direct us to the location you (anner) gave; he phoned his colleague to come up with 'the buggy' which he did within about a minute and he lead us to the spot.
