Fix It Blogger

Blogger is screwing up my HTML code so that the pages don't validate with W3C Validator. At the top of the page Blogger has three buttons instead of the original two. There is now a button marked flag so that you can notify Blogger if you find a blog with objectionable content. Mouse over causes three lines of text to appear in a drop down box. Notify Blogger about <br> objectionable content. What does this mean? It is the coding for <br> that is causing the problem.

All that they have got to do is close the <br> tag by adding a space and a / to it - <br />. Come on Blogger sort it will you? If Milt can see what's wrong you must have someone who is up to fixing it.

Drip fixed

The saga of the plumber with a plunger is over. The ballcock valve for the central heating header tank was the problem and is now fixed.

Volvo radio code

I climb into the car to take Mrs B. to the railway station and discover that the radio is demanding a code. It happens when the battery is disconnected or goes flat. Mine went flat. The trouble is I never had a radio code number because I didn't buy the car new.

The good news is that I phoned the dealership and the guy told me what the code was. It was in his computer records. Computers are brilliant aren't they? So if someone steals my radio, all they need is the registration number and a call to the local friendly dealership will get them the code to get the radio working. Not just that but the guy said that if the code didn't work they would send someone down to remove the radio and get the code off the back of it. Not very high tech but very useful to know if you spend your time stealing car radios from Volvos.
