Hi, and welcome!
Good to have you with us, I'm a fellow Brit, 21, from around the Birmingham area working/studying super techy things involving typing and generally performing magic with a keyboard and development environment (programming sounds less impressive...)
Plenty of good people here with big hearts who like to help people. Also very much a social club where we talk about all things not related to computers too... put it this way, if the internet were a party, this website would be the kitchen!
