I am rather a leg end, or so I am sometimes told.
Elsie's message made my day, which was already a good one.
You've got more stuff to read her next time, so you never know, she might manage a coffee and biscuit one day.
And a good evening to you, too, Kirsty!
Aw that's nice! What else has made today a good day?
I will certainly show her your reply but I don't think she'll understand what you mean. She will probably think cyberspace is a real thing lol

Good lesson with a student in the morning, relaxing day, couple of friends called.
Life's good.

That's great! So are you a teacher then? I've just realised I don't know anybody's 'day job' in this forum :)
We've got a couple of teacher's in here, Lyn for example, but I only teach a bit of this and that to the locals to help out, though I used to do some lecturing in the UK, that was paleontology.
I retired 10 years ago at 39!
Live a happy, relaxed existence writing and studying, doing bits and pieces to keep myself amused.

Really? Wow!
I didn't know that? What university did you teach in?
I'm a capacity planning analyst. So I deal with recruitment, attrition, productivity and redeployment of our staff etc. People think it sounds like a really boring job but I LOVE analysing data and I'm really passionate about my work.

If they are still playable, you could put them on eBay. Or Craigslist (or equivalent). What about Goodwill or some other charity shop?
Sadly nobody wants vhs anymore. Our charity shops won' t take them. I have looked to see if any of them are collectable - Star Wars, Star Gate, Babylon 5, X files, Dr Who - to name just a few, but they don't even go on eBay these days.
I will put them on our Freecycle website. I just want my space back by getting rid of his space tapes!!

Lyn just thinking... Are they taped videos or ones that you bought from the shop?

They are all bought sets - my nephew must have spent thousands of pounds on them over the years, some of them haven't even been played. sadly my sister - his Mum and his Dad didn't put the brakes on for him so he just went on and on buying
I have already taken 2 carloads to the ex-recycling place.

I think there's a website you can send them to via free courier who recycle them for you. I'll see if I can find it
If it's ems-media solutions they are the ones who aren't taking domestic media now.
But if there's anyone else I'd be very grateful for a contact no. Thanks Kirsty.
