    It's been okay over here, apart from Anc. 'giving up' on searches if too much info is included. Mainly more recent searches so maybe the people I choose did noting more than birth, marry & ...still waiting on that. ;) I find the really slow thing is now my computer since Windows 10 became a fact of my life, especially my file explorer, -'quick access' is a joke. Yes computer has been with me for a few years, but same slowness on laptop which recent. Perhaps they resent my not using edge.

    I’ve noticed the go-slow on Ancestry and FMP, and the newspapers on the BNA are being really slow at presenting a clear, readable image :sceptical: Maybe it is just too many folk researching at the same time :reading:

    That's my excuse as well- sometimes I thump the poor keyboard and it spits crumbs back at me!!

    Me Mum & Dad was English. I have always called crisps-crisps but have just checked a pkt of some I don't usually have they are finely sliced potatos, crisp & delicious or somesuch.
    Not what I'duse for a chip butty tho, prefer hot chips for that.

    Just had a Dental technician in, had to leave this
    How is the air where you are Sis, smokey or just hot?
    Now I need to go put my Meat loaf together.
