  Thanks yes it has USB C
  I'll tell her to get Dell monitors and the dock sounds easier.

  Thanks - how do I know if they rotate?
  This one says "swivel angle 90" - does that mean it will go vertical?

  After recommendations for 2x monitors which my wife wants to use both vertically to help her edit documents.
  It's to connect to her work Dell laptop which has HDMI connection.
  Guess size wise looking around 24"
  Needs to be as hassle free as possible to install!
  Thanks

  Sarah Bernhardt peonies from my old garden
  I've moved house and brought them with me but they are so fussy about being moved I doubt they'll flower next year.

  Our old HSBC mortgage allowed rental for 12 months - you just had to inform them first.

  Thanks - I guess if someone complains it may be problematic but it seems you can delay the final order to take it down with appeals etc... while coming up with a plan B.

  Fence of our new house is fucked, borderline dangerous and needs replacing.
  We're on a corner plot and the fence runs parallel to a main road.
  Current fence is 2m high. We want to put new one in of same height.
  Planning rules suggest we need planning permission.
  But office is closed for calls and it'll take ages to get approval and it needs doing now.
  So we're going to get it done regardless.
  What's the likely outcome?

  Thanks - if the sellers were telling the truth then they only used once and that was 10 years ago...

  Slowly addressing the many “quirks” of our new house.
  It has a sump pump in the cellar.
  Does anyone know how I can test whether it’s working without flooding the cellar?
  There is an electrical cable attached to something somewhere and a drain tube which has split outside the property (it originally drained into the sewer/waste)
  Should it work automatically or does it need switching on first?
  (I’ve yet to find where the electrical cable connects to).
  There is no obvious switch on the pump itself
