New Website Launched!

[steve_holmes_11]

I don't think we've got a fix for the sidebar, but you can get straight back to the RedVectors categoris page by clicking the 'breadcrumbs'?  So at the top of the products in 6mm for instance, there's the Home / RED VECTORS / 6mm / Fence text, if you click RedVectors there it'll take you back to that scale page?

Must admit, I had not noticed the breadcrumbs.
Excellent solution which avoids all the perils of mad website design nonsense.
Colour me satisfied.

Just adding stuff into my 'wish list' prior to putting in an order and noticed that after adding some Austrian artillery from the Seven Years War range, when I try to add the same size guns from the Prussian list, I get a message saying that they are already on the list. Just thought you would want to know.

Thanks for the info, I've recreated that here and it looks like there's a strange clash with any products that share the same title.  Any of the SYW 'Tricorn, march attack' codes are doing it as well, so SYA1 and SYB1 for example.  I'll need to talk to the web company about that one as it's quite happy for you to add them to the Cart with the same titles, so the Wishlist should be the same.

Excellent, good to hear!

"Breadcrumbs"?

"Breadcrumbs"?

Web-speak for a part of teh page that illustrates the path taken to get there (From the story of Hansel and Gretel).

I never eat at my computer. Breadcrumbs can be a right bloody nuisance between the keys. Another stupid use of a good word. See also woke, cool etc. Like English doesn't have too many words as it is. I assume teh is computer language as well.

Time for one of my favourite quotes.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." ― James D. Nicoll

Language evolves.

The evolution of language is often driven by the need/ desire of an "in" group for words or phrases specific to the group.

I suspect the "in" group for the quote above is limited to a group of one.

I remain hopeful that "fripple my galumpholer" enters common usage.

Like English doesn't have too many words as it is.

the rot set in when we voted by a narrow majority to leave the European empire then based in Rome, but needed to invite in German and then Scandinavian immigrants to do the sword work that we didn't fancy doing.  The Normans  tried to put things right by re-introducing latin derived words  but we didn't like the accent and then had at least two words for every noun.  like home/house, beef/cow,.. We so enjoyed this that it became a national sport to mis-use words like "interesting" to mean something different and thus ensure that no other nation could ever understand us enough to subjugate us again.

Surely that was one of Rambling Syd Rumpo's most popular songs?  Perhaps my memory plays tricks.

[Heedless Horseman]

For many generations, the linguistic 'in' group was the British Army 'Overseas'! Have you thought about just how much of colloquial 'English' is 'adapted' from India / China / E Med, Service? Probably almost as much as derived from Latin or French! Much has gone out of use... or would most probably be 'offensive' in some way... but it WAS 'colourful'!  

Incidentally, a certiain word that has always been called 'VERY' 'Anglo Saxon',  , 'seems' to have most likely been Norse derived! Probably the word in most common usage today... old languages can survive! lol. 

[Ithoriel]

Indeed English has been purloining foreign vocabulary for a very long time and from sources many and varied ... and shows no sign of stopping any time soon.

[Heedless Horseman]

'Think' I once heard that LOL... 'Laugh Out Loud'... once meant 'Like it Or Leave it' !  LOL   Same as...
