Britain in Bloom; Limpsfield wins gold
Limpsfield village was awarded 'Gold', the only one for the South and South East Regions. Ann Osborn, said, "Limpsfield had already been judged as the 'Best Large
Village' in the regional heats for the second year running, but to win Gold nationally after only three years is almost unheard of. It's a fantastic result and everyone in the village should be proud of the
achievement."
"At the heart of the village is its community", reported the judges, "and the Bloom campaign has undoubtedly done much to create new friendships and foster community
spirit."

Don’t get conned by e-mails from CNN. The e-mail poses as "The Daily Top 10" from CNN or CNN Alert. Don't click the links because they might be highly dangerous viruses, malware or Trojans.
Don’t click on mail with the subject “IE
Explorer 7” of “Free download” purporting to come from Microsoft. They also contain Trojans.
You are offered nude videos of Angelina Jolie, celebs seen nude on the beach and similar. DO NOT be tempted to have a peek. Once you have clicked you are infected with a
Trojan virus. If you are Outraged of Oxted or Livid of Limpsfield by the content and frequency (I receive about ten a day) do not be tempted to click the 'unsubscribe' link.
This will also implant a Trojan on your system and also tell the malicious sender that you exist! In any case, I recommend that you neither send nor receive messages as html. The message can put a window off
your screen but contain malicious content although it is invisible to you. Also, behind that pretty coloured background can exist invisible links to anywhere - malicious sites, porn, gambling etc.
Don’t open the zip. It contains a Trojan “Unfortunately we were not able to deliver
postal package you sent on August the 1st in time because the recipient?s address is not correct. Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office. Your FEDEX.com”
What should you do? 1. Delete the e-mail, not just from your Inbox but from Spam or Junk folder where is
might be consigned. 2. Buy some anti-virus/firewall software. Make sure you use it properly. Left to its own will not guarantee protection. Read more.
Scams, Crimeware, viruses,Trojans and
Spyware. Your computer could be distributing it to your friends. Read how YOU can stop it.
Scam alerts and Phishing are on the increase. You might be e-mailed to update your PayPal details. This is almost certainly a
Scam so just delete the message. Don’t answer it in any way because that just confirms that you are the intended recipient! Similarly, Nationwide, Lloyds TSB and Abbey customers are under attack.
Here’s another real stinker! “This one is pretty slick since they provide
