Yes, we know.

It's a lot more expensive to do something I enjoy, but I can still afford it. So for me personally, it's a bit annoying. What do you think?

With a 25% discount. With that and the new tunnel charges, it's now nearly half the price of getting the train.

Iirc there are some other forks (or possibly Libre itself) that allow you to skin it almost exactly like Word.

Yeah....85 quid a year for 365 or free (forever) for Libre. £13 is very likely to be some kind of dodgy. If you're often connected and don't hate Google, their office suite is very nice for free. I use sheets in preference to Excel if I want to share documents or automate something.

Thanks - a very interesting link. Not least because I was wondering about Dali Kupids and they get editor's choice too.

Yeah - I'll try to get into Richer Sounds once Christmas subsides. The closest is a 45 min drive away but they are always nice to visit. But the amp isn't discounted anywhere and my local hi-fi shop deserves a visit too :)
