    Perhaps the British should have bought more British-made cars instead of importing foreign ones.

    Perhaps the British should buy British food instead of importing foreign stuff.

    Perhaps the British should holiday at home instead of spending our currency abroad.

    Perhaps the British should fit British-made kitchens instead of the imported ones.

    Perhaps the British would have some of our own industries left.

    will this name be ok:

    Does any one here know how to creat a number formula in excel

    ....so in breif one that will automatically work out drams to total weight 3600drams divide 16 divide 16 i suppose

    You would not do any dividing, just subtracting and adding.

    There would be a loop that would take the number of drams in a pound from the total and add 1 to the number of pounds each time, until there is less than a pound left. Then another loop would take the number of drams in an ounce from the remainder and add 1 to the number of ounces each time, until there is less than an ounce left. The remainder would be the number of drams.

    You would then have to present the variables in the format you require.

    I would think it could be done in VBA.

    You would, perhaps, have to type the number of drams in one cell and have the formula in another.

    Not a new "phenomenon". As a mature student in the 90s, (the 1990s        ) I remember the 1st years' gripes about food going missing. Every floor of every hall of residence had food pilfered from the communal kitchens. And the culprits? Other students.

    Then, when these 1st years moved into their 2nd year, and moved into shared houses, the gripes continued. It seemed that every shared house had at least "one"..someone who never chipped in, and used everybody else's food/clothes/equipment etc. And it wasn't only in their accomodation either. Girls' bags would be systemically stolen, credit cards used etc. Computers would go "missing". Art materials would disappear from storage. Thousands of pounds worth of theft annually. And the culprits? 99 times out of a hundred, it was other students. The other time? Staff. I caught one member of staff reselling a stack of art materials that he'd stolen from the students' communal store, all materials that they'd bought themselves, and given to this staff member for "safekeeping". By the time I got back to the scene with the Course Leader, he'd hidden all evidence, and intimidated the people he'd sold the stuff to into silence. And the b*****d got away scot free. He's still there up to the same tricks apparently.

    They have a word for it.

     

    Now let me think.

     

    Oh yes!

    Help - secret bait question

    in Coarse Fishing

    There are some 'coarse mix' calf feeds that are sticky and have lots of particles. They contain all sorts of stuff and are a little sticky because of the oil content. Febo do a similar dog food that smells lovely.

    Could it also be ground up dry cat food that has something added to it to make it stick together. It could be used in powder form to put some scent in the water!!
