"All the while the public want harmless products on their shelves, it will go on and there is nothing you can do about it."

Chawbury is a pleasant English market town; medieval cathedral, seventeenth and eighteenth century town houses surrounded by satellite estates, and  to the east, a gleaming, ultra-modern biotech laboratory.

But the beauty of Chawbury was of little consequence to C16, a synthetic hominid designed for experimentation. Death by slow torture seemed to be her inevitable fate... That is until schoolboy Michael Gowland gets a summer job in the animal pens.

I have been wrestling with my computer for the last couple of months. Libreoffice kept on crashing every time I pulled up my proof to do some edits. After trying everything I could think of, I eventually reinstalled the PC and as soon as I opened the file, it crashed again.

I eventually found that there was a hidden file in the directory with the suffix .loc. Once deleted, everything worked fine... I wish I had known that before I reinstalled the computer.
