Okay, I couldn't resist getting replying to this! I now live on the west coast of Canada but before that I lived in Portsmouth on the south coast of England. When I used to work just outside Portsmouth, I cycled there but suffered several accidents of one sort or another and was happy not to

Out of interest (and because the list is quiet!), which audiobook version do other countries have? I always get (via my sister) the Stephen Fry ones from the UK because I find Jim Dale's version too silly but that is just my personal opinion. What about places like Australia and New Zealand?

Quite a while ago, David (I think) started a discussion about water charges. As the list is quiet, and I have just received my utility bill, I thought I'd pass on my numbers. As you will see, some things are paid for quarterly (based on meter readings) and some annually: 1) Water charge

Hi, Do any of you genealogy whizzkids know where I can find any information about military medals? My great uncle apparently won the Military Cross at some point but no-one in the family seems to know more than that. He was born in 1891 so my guess would be the medal was awarded during WWI
