When I cropped my bag of Red Duke of York potatoes the seed potatoes were still firm. I have not done them this early before and in previous years they have always shrunk and gone soggy. Are they suitable to be eaten?

Fortunately for us non-welsh speaking curious people, the University of Wales does an online dictionary.

I registered my employer with the Environment Agency as a producer of Hazardous Waste and the response from their website was dual language, despite me not ticking the Welsh Please box.

Before anyone asks, an end of life desk phone or computer becomes HW the moment you decide to dispose of it and mpre tham 500kg per annum means you have to register. :wink:

Obsolete. :D

Our internal phone system is so old we cannot get new spares to fix issues, but have to use refurbished or secondhand bits. So we are replacing it and its handsets. The maintenance costs on the new one are a fraction of the old one as it shares a single network point with the computer and like the computer you log onto it, so I can go to any desk and my extension follows me when I log on to the phone.
