We were staying on a Dorset farm and she'd gone to the farm up the lane and asked if she could take them for a walk
Must have been the same farmer that my late Uncle met many years ago.

He discovered a small lamb on the moors and persuaded the farmer to sell it to him. It grew into a large ram which he kept on the grass outside the offices where he worked in Farnham, Surrey.
He used to take it for a walk and got his photo in the Farnham News, when he was shopping with ram in M & S.

They had a caravan type vehicle and would take ram everywhere, much as you do with a dog.

On the only visit ram made to us in SE London, my uncle asked if ram could come in and graze on the back lawn.

"Only if you want him on the barbecue" was my father's reply, which may well have been what the farmer thought was going to happen when he sold ram.

I believe ram died of old age and was buried next to the offices, (under where he worked, I suppose).

close all software

open Windows explorer

search for filename

see if that finds it

if so right click on it and choose "Open with.." and select program to open it with or right click and choose "send as attachment" if you want to email

does that help...?

Could it be that file has become corrupted and that is why you can't open it. Perhaps you should send Jude a pm about it, she rescued Ann's pc when it decided not to play the game.

Agreed. Why is it that they always jam / need refilling when you are in a desperate hurry to get something done? :twisted:

always

they are specially programmed that way i think

BTW Mrs C if you are still having problems with your file, close the program you can see the pic in so the file isn't open in any way shape or form, then search for it outside of that program. might help!
