This has been discussed on here before, and I was quite forcefully told I was in the wrong, you don’t undertake, you sit in the middle/ inside doing less than 60, 70 in the outside is not a target...
See it every morning/ evening on the A19, I watched someone join the other day, who went straight to the outside lane with no one in sight to overtake, I then breezed past at 70, on inside, and when they were nearly out of site in my mirror there was a que of cars behind...

Having moved we wanted to get some new garden furniture. After shopping around we decided what we wanted but they didn't have it in the local store. "No problem, you can order online".

So we order online and are told that it will be delivered in 7 days. After 9 days and still nothing I phone up to be told that the orders are fulfilled by the local store and that as the local store is closing they aren't getting any new deliveries. Of course no one had bothered to contact me about this. I guess the staff in the local store don't care as the store is closing and their jobs are going. Now waiting for them to collect the various parts of the order from three different stores so that they can deliver them.

Holes in bagels. Whats the point? You just end up with a badly spread bagel and/or a clogged up hole/mound of butter and Cathedral Seriously Strong cheese spread on the plate.

And, even worse, you ask the missus if she wants a bagel whike you're having one, she says no, you sit down next to her with just the right amount of bagel then she says ‘Can I have some of your bagel' completely upsetting the amount of bagel per person sweet spot.

Windows 10 update; really? Requires manual input to do, is on its sixth reboot so far and is still not finished, I have work to do this morning and you are set to do automatic updates. Not good enough Microsoft!

No sympathy, windows are for looking through and nothing else

This ^^^

Windows updates killed my last laptop. It must have had about 18 lined up and the laptop just couldn't cope.

I made the decision then to go to Apple (much as I tried to resist) however, in the almost 3 years since, I've only had one issue, and that was probably user error.
I'd recommend making the change.
The only problem though is that 90% of the world us Microsoft products such as Outlook, Excel, Word etc, so you have to load Microsoft products onto it.
Which can cause the odd issue.

Overall I'm so pleased I did the switch, an iMac may cost 3-4 times what a laptop would cost, but it's money well spent.
Of course a Macbook (with decent memory) will only cost 3 times what a laptop would, and that's still worth the money.

Apple evil. Google evil. Facebook evil. Microsoft evil.

They all go through the circle of life. Oh yes, Disney evil.
