We didn’t have a local election in London. Even if we did it wouldn’t matter. I get Labour whatever I vote.

It gets worse of course. The council sends a van around 3 times a week to pick up the rubbish or you can pay them £50 to have your old matress picked up direct.

Where do they take it to ?

Well it looks like you put the stuff you don’t want in a bin bag and dump it next to a tree.

Madness

You still have a local dump ? Brent and Harrow are trying to close their’s.

Still want to fine you if you don’t recycle though.

How does that work ?

I put the wood PC in the wrong place but anyone remember that from Micro Mart ?

The Gigabyte BIOS will not do a DMI reset if it finds an old OS.

The other thing is make sure you only have 1 drive with an OS connected.

I will put this again in the right place i hope😁

Try the reset cmos button if you have a Gigabyte board. Keep pushing it until it says DMI reset.

You won’t get W7 on there either due to the lack of memory and the DX 8.1 graphics.
