You need to spend 5 minutes deleting all the Honor crap off it, but after that it does what I need.

Got a Toshiba just now and the touch screen is a hit or a miss if its working or not. Life is to short to look into changing that so chuck it and buy another.

Oh, I wasn't criticising the purchase in the slightest. Possibly the availability! :lol: But if they are there - buy the cake :D :D

Do they add a festive spirit to the bakewells or is it the christmas coloured sprinkles?!! :lol: :lol:

It may have been a universal nickname, I don't know, but squaddies always called Löwenbräu 'Laughing gas'.

I like it.
