1. Spelling Police

2. World Handicap System

3. People who defend the WHS as if it’s personally offending them

Pedants who pick up ambiguity as if WHS could offend anyone...??

I love stuff like that. I mentioned on a car forum once how I hated getting into a hot car. 'Why not hold the open door key on the fob for 3-5 seconds, all the windows come down. I'd had the car 2 years and never realised that was possible. I use that so much in summer now as I walk towards my car on a hot day.

It's a VW group thing....and common across most (if not all) their group cars that have electric windows.....and yes, even the vans

Updated the iOS on my phone. The app I used to store all my passwords is not supported so I cannot access them anymore.

Seriously, I do not want to see members being criticised for spelling or grammar.

Those dishing out any criticism are likely to get Fraggered.

I got a new router from BT today my devices would not connect to the Wi Fi using the supplied password took me more than hour to realise that the password given would not work even when it was the one setup in the router!!

Then had to reset the devices set up using WPS for some reason. One device required a factory reset to clear the network name from the setting which meant I also lost all the settings for the family and friends routers.
