I haven't heard anyone else use the word 'manky' for years.

Not that that fixes your spuds, of course.

My dad grew some spuds in the greenhouse this year to get some really early earlies.

It must be said that they were truly...er... ordinary.

Absolutely flavourless.

Rather sad really.

Talking of floppy disks, as someone was earlier, anyone else remember using singlesided 5 1/4" disks and punching a hole in the cover to make them double sided?

I had quite a collection of the things in the dim and distant past, housing my collection of knocked off games for the BBC micro

Double sided in a single sided drive.

Now I understand.

An extra index hole in the jacket.

Reminds me of the 8" floppy, where the double sided version had the index hole in a different place & required a different drive to read & write to it.

Or a dual format drive.

Happy memories...

Now I am backing it up to that highest of hi-tech solutions... floppy disk.

You mean you've stopped using cassette tapes?

A gruesome amount of paperwork I'd really really like to share
