Ah!  But cribbage peg(g)s come in the plural.  And there is only one Pegg (in this context anyway, while being fully aware that he has a family that also bear the same name...)  Depends which way you want to work the pun I suppose.  But it does rather spoil the line of the title, visually speaking.

Ok, pedant hat firmly put in the drawer.  I'll go and do some work now...

Technically, it's correct. Peggy's surname is Pegg. Singular.


yes, but I think what the box title means is a box of peggs ie lots of peggs, plural

It's a play on words: Box of Pegg's is another way of saying Pegg's Box (box associated to Pegg)

Anna will I'm sure will back me up (as she first mentioned it..) look at the position of the apostrophe ....

Between the two Gs...  should be between the final G and the S...

No, It is in the correct place (to the right and slightly above the second G). If you read it as being between the two Gs then it would be below the first G which would make it a comma and calling it A Box of Peg,gs would just be silly!

'm wth Jim here. If it was a comma, then yes, it's between the two G's. As an apostrophe, it's correctly placed. I believe the interpretation of Nick's is the correct one ...  Grin

Are you paying through PayPal?

Do you have Cookies enabled?

Paypal seems to need to be able to put Cookies on your PC and gets stroppy if it can't.

E-mail them and ask if they could send you the form as an attachment

Ok Shirl, let's see if I can help. First, I take it that you are using IE7 or Firefox. If not, this may still be helpful.

First and easy step, delete all your browser's local files and cookies. In Firefox this is Tools ->  Delete private data. In IE it's done from Internet Options I believe.

Then, again if using Firefox, if you have Firefox with Adblock enabled, whitelist the site by right clicking on the Adblock menu bottom right.

I know IE has something similar.

IF'n this doesn't help, can you be more specific when you say that when it comes to paying you get nowhere? Are the payment forms never appearing at all?
