A colleague of mine uses Sage (I don't know exactly which version, but it's no higher than the "Line 50" package) and has just discovered that there is an annual maintenance/support fee that he has to pay. It's around the

I would not be waiting for the renewal to fall due..... I'd be more likely to be waiting for Head Office door to open for business the following day!! God help the CEO..... no one else would be able to!!

A really nice looking panel - be rightly proud!

ROTFWL That's pretty poor sparking. I've come across buried JBs similar to your first photo, but the rest is way up on the list of sparking incompetence.

I have never tried this, but the temptation is there...... Take a box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates, a couple of dozen brussel sprouts, a bar of Cadburys or similar chocolate. Remove the Ferrero Rocher from their wrappings. Melt the Cadburys and coat the brussel sprouts with it; wrap these in...

One set of questions that no-one has asked (as far as I am aware) is this: If the leader of a party that is as far to the Left as BNP are to the Right was invited on to Question Time, would there have been an equally large dirt-storm surrounding his/her appearance as surrounded Nick Griffin's...

When taking single-core cables out of a steel box, the important thing is for a slot to be present in the steel box between the holes used by the single core cables. The purpose of the slot is to break the steel link between the cable access holes in the box. The the width of the slot is not a...

I had something similar happen a couple of years ago...... I have a small business premises and got a PRS letter. Being a one-man-band with very few visitors other than the odd sales rep, I thought it a bl@@&y cheek, so I phoned PRS to find out the story: I was told that as I was operating...

Sounds like discrimination to me. The problem is that as a self-employed person (or even just an employed person) you don't have the time to devote to creating a storm over this and therefore get some action in your favour just to keep you quiet. It is a sad indictment of our society where...

Count me in for one. Cheers, Pyro.

One low-life trough-feeder has recently been copped for just this! When I was young and innocent, I thought that MPs went into their chosen vocation to do good for the public/nation. How wrong I was!

A good way to lose friends and alienate people. Pyro and Pyro's cat.

There are some low-life individuals that I would not wish on my worst enemy, let alone the Forces. National Service is often assumed to be military, however there are other ways that young people can serve the nation and in the process of doing so gain additional life-skills, standards, and a...

These photos are the remnants of an old 3-phase service head located under a stairway in a small Lancashire industrial premises. Replacement to a new 3-phase head took place around 5 years ago. This little lot was found adjacent to the new service head and covered in dust. The old cables are...

When the next Government is formed (by whichever Party gets in), serious consideration should be given to some form of National Service as a means of instilling values of discipline, responsibility, respect and also an appreciation of the free society that we have the good fortune to live in.

Zeespark, Yes there are surge protectors that can be built into CUs & DBs. These are French; I'm not sure if they are available in the UK: http://www.citel.fr/type_2_ac_power_surge_protectors-g-3-en.html This subject came up with a client who has a property in Frnce, hence the French...

Is there an annual "software maintenance" fee for Sage.... something like

I had a similar thing happen back in 1992. The local pharmacy recommended me to a nearby Italian restaurant. The downstairs sockets had tripped and would not reset. It was a dog of a fault to find - a BESA box (Y-split, 2 x pyro and 1 x T&E) had been buried in the floor in the access gangway...
