Hello Everyone, Advertising 3
Welcome once again to this month's Auctioneers Front,3-5

is a very special month for me as it is 9 Builders / Gardeners / Trades Back
years to the month that we started Carpets / Flooring 7
producing our publication. When first Curtains & Blinds 8
launched in 2006, this magazine was Jewellers 10
originally called Ad-Venture Magazine Printing 12
but in August of last year we decided to Retail 10
change the look and name so we decided Stationery 13
My Town Local would be more Telephone Service
appropriate to express our desire to Vouchers
connect businesses and people together.
If you're a first time reader of this In This Issue... 3,10
publication, we sincerely hope you find it 7
of interest. We would certainly appreciate Did You Know... 9
your comments which you can send to us Computers & The Internet 10

Remove Unused Applications and Other Junk

Your PC has a lot of non-essential data (e.g., rubbish) stored on it, much of
which you might not even be aware of. For instance, Internet Explorer stores
copies of the Web pages you visit, images and media for faster viewing later.
Plus there are temporary files, your Internet history, cookies, and more
scattered throughout your system.
Plus, when your machine was brand new it came pre-loaded with numerous
pieces of trial software. This could be games, security suites, even full blown
applications like QuickBooks or Microsoft Office. Many people never install
these. Others have, but decided not to purchase them at the end of the trial.
Yet they remain on the system, wasting space and bloating the Windows
Registry. Over time, this can lead to performance problems, causing Windows
to become sluggish and unreliable.

One of the easiest ways to combat this is to use CCleaner, a freeware utility
for system optimisation, privacy and cleaning. This tool removes unused files
from a hard drive and cleans up online history. But more important, it includes
an outstanding registry cleaner. It even has an uninstaller to assist you in
removing applications from your system.

FACT ! Atoms are the basic building blocks of
matter that make up everyday objects.
A desk, the air, even you are made up of atoms!
If there was no space between any of
its atoms, Earth would be the size
of a cricket ball.

Where Did We
Come From?

A child asked his father, "How were people born?" So his
father said, "Adam and Eve made babies, then their
babies became adults and made babies, and so on." The
child then went to his mother, asked her the same
question and she told him, "We were monkeys then we
evolved to become like we are now." The child ran back to
his father and said, "You lied to me!" His father replied,
"No, your Mum was talking about her side of the family."

British

Facts:

Great Britain has a long and colourful history which has and still creates
some amazing facts and trivia. We have listed some of the UK's weird
and wonderful facts, amazing UK trivia and strange UK laws below.

It is an executable offence to allow your pet to mate with a pet of the royal
house without permission.

A pregnant woman may relieve herself wherever she wishes.

The phrase “rule of thumb” is derived from an old English law which stated
that you couldn’t beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

Up until 1752 Britain used the Julian calendar and New Years Day was on
25th March.

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver or purple

William the Conqueror ordered that everyone should go to bed at eight
o’clock.

In Shakespeare’s time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes.
When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer
to sleep on. That’s where the phrase, “goodnight, sleep tight” came from.

The shortest war in history was between Zanzibar and England in 1896.
Zanzibar surrendered after 38 minutes.

Berwick-upon-Tweed was officially at war with Russia for 110 years.

Even though being the sovereign of The United Kingdom, Her Majesty the
Queen is not allowed to enter the City of London with seeking the permission
of its Lord Mayor.

In England, all men over the age of 14 must carry out two hours of longbow
practice a day.

In 1945, a flock of starlings landed on the minute hand of Big Ben and put the
time back by five minutes.

Britain is he only country in the world which doesn’t have the country’s name
in its postage stamps.
