    I lost my dad to this horrible disease. My thoughts go out to him and his family and friends. 

    And what a bloody player!

    I did too mate. Last words with my dad, he thought I was the doctor

    But he died in hospital at 92 years old, with his Villa scarf on the bottom of the bed Holte ender in the sky

    I expect you saved up and bought and house when you were younger, too?

    Do you think it’s just as easy for the younger generation who have to save up and buy a house today?

    Not sure how you can compare.  We did save for a deposit, but there was little else to spend money on. No mobile phones, no gadgets, no sky subscription,  we all drove old tatty cars and went to Wales once a year for a holiday and at 19 years of age I was earning £56 aweek.

    Sure, a lot of investment will be required to make that happen. But in any sensible world that money will be raised by increasing taxes on the most well-off in our society, which is generally (though not exclusively) the older generations due to the many decades of rising asset prices they enjoyed throughout their lifetimes. 

    I think the assumption that it's a problem for the younger generations is quite indicative of the actual problem - the fact the older generation think they've already "paid their way" and shouldn't have to share the hardship, when the numbers don't back that up at all.

    I wrote something similar when I was the younger generation . I have worked for 49 years, paid taxes and Ni for 49 years. Yep I reckon I have paid my way

    @Robtaylor200 What blandy said, ignore OpenOffice, I dunno why I put that option there beside very old habit. LibreOffice and OnlyOffice are the two to look at

    Done and downloaded, I will keep office 365 until payment is due in October, then say thanks but no thanks and use Libre.

  5. @Tegis thank you. The one you use seems ideal for me. I  told you I havent a clue. Lol. The one you use is ideal for me. BUT if I down load it, do I still have to keep Microsoft,  do I run both, do I delete Microsoft,  how would I do that, would I have to copy my files to the new format first 🤔 

  6. Gents I need some advice in layman's terms please 

    I brought a lap top about 3 years ago and paid for Microsoft 365 (I think that's what is) I pay about £60 every October

    I don't really know why I am paying it or if I even need it

    I have a couple of spread sheets for banking and daily planner, keeping track of birthdays and stuff like that. I use Word if I am composing a speech or a long email to copy and post. I have several files of photos from holidays and stuff  

    I browse the tinternet

    I have been told about the cloud, but I don't understand it (all I know is that some things have been saved there and I cant see them anymore)

    My ask is.

    What will happen if I stop paying ?

    Should I be making more use of what i am paying for ?
