How do I remember all these PIN codes?
@Andy Millne :- is there something saved on this site when a machine + the operating system connects to the site? Could there be an old operating system associated with CL's login that is resulting in her having to input login details from her upgraded system.🙃

How do I remember all these PIN codes?
@Canny lass - forgot to add - as I am starting to forget things, especially passwords of 8, or more, letters that include :- numeric, special characters, upper & lower case alpha a few years ago I created an Excel spreadsheet with all my Login Id's, passwords and info associated with each one. Naturally that Excel document is not held on any PC but on a Memory Stick that can be accessed on numerous hardwrae devices. All I have to do now is remember to keep that Memory Stick up to date

How do I remember all these PIN codes?
@Canny lass - I had a bit clart on my PC and if you are using Windows 10 ( I would assume Win 7 & 8 exactly the same) and Google then I believe what you should be looking for is :- Setings , Auto-fill and Passwords. First select the 3 dots at the top left corner of your Google browser screen That will bring up a menu with 'Settings' in it - select Settings That will bring up a screen with selections down the left of the screen and there will be an 'Auto-fill' icon, select that and that will bring up the Password option - select that that should bring up - 'Offer to save Passwords' = a slide bar and I would guess your slide bay is switched off. Switch it on. Now what I don't know is that when you slide it to On if your previously saved passwords will be brought back , ie. from a file that was not affected by your upgrade, or if you will be starting again from scratch. I did not experiment with my 'slide bar' as I didn't want to risk loosing the 100+ passwords I have saved.

How do I remember all these PIN codes?
CL - Not sure I can help - both my Desktop PC's are Windows systems using Google and the saving of login Id's + passwords is automatically asked when you first visit a new site. Updates to passwords are also asked to be saved = pop-up window when you make changes. What system9s) are you using?

Freeport.
Will this mean that a Freeport in the UK will be exempt taxes to all countries apart from the EU?

Don't think it would have been taken from the school - wrong angle. This image, pre Market Place Club, shows the school yard looking across to the Market Place.

Names added to photo My mam (born 1920) had 5 brothers and 4 of them were miners and I think (but could be wrong) they all started off at the Doctor Pit. Martin Henderson - born 1921 - Deputy at Dr Pit and later in his life was the Market Place Club Chairman . John Luke Henderson - born 1925 - always knew him as Luke. Bob Henderson - born 1934 - was at Choppington Pit when he retired. George Henderson - born 1937 - last worked at Bates until it closed.
