    You Londoners - got to be some of the most stressed out people, and for what?

    Did anybody here watch British Families: Money on BBC 2 last night? They interviewed those 50+ hour a week folks earning big bucks, material obsession, I thought he looks like someone approaching retirement. Turned out he was in his mid-twenties


    To sum it up, it's all Thatcher fault...

      I take it you work a fraction of what your software will, or maybe it's the other way around?

          There's your problem. Try to avoid using brand new expensive kit for something critical.

          Give it time to get over teething problems first. AKA testing it thoroughly first.

            But their houses are worth a fortune, so that's OK.

                Do you now see why some of us want TPD back?
                Isn't there a TPD 2?

                    Yep. So off you go, dip your toe in the water and see what happens.
