    For now... They've cut the 90 days return to 35 in the news today. Could be the start of a slide.

        After endless research I have found the perfect machine for the OP.

        I'm hoping the manufacturers name of "Fisher Price" won't put him off
        Can you buy it in John Lewis?
        Couldn't find the Fisher Price one, but this one looks like it might do the job....

          We're talking about home PCs and, in that context, it's tough to outdo the one DimPrawn linked...
          I don't know, I have something that emulates that on one of my home PCs. In fact the laptop I'm using now can do a fair bit of what that does. Mind you, the work system can handle thousands of users, millions of transactions per second but it just so happens that I'm the only user on it so I think of it as my development machine

            Not so much of a challenge since the post-Brexit price rises.

              I have bought a lot of stuff from John Lewis... rarely return anything. They should be extending it because of me not reducing it.

                Still deciding on whether or not to leave the Flat rate scheme in April. Will impact what I decide to do.
