How how large is C:drive, and much disk space if left on C:drive?
Do you have a D:drive? If so, is it a separate physical drive or a partition of the same physical drive as C:drive?
What build/version of Win10 do you have?
You give nothing to go on, so let's start there.

Avro Vulcan. Almost the same engines, but Concorde is refined noise by comparison, Vulcan's are absolute brutes.

Exactly the same with overseas-owned assets via Privatisation ... the profits are not part of our economy, and they spend absolute minimum they can get away with on infrastructure investment here.
Up prices, take the profits, run down the infrastructure, walk away from the franchise, rinse & repeat.

I'm only around a quarter of the way to being in the 100k salary area, but I've always just multiplied gross x 73% to tell me ball-park how much tax I'll pay.

You missed the part where I pretty much said, it doesn't really matter.
Hell, vote Monster Raving Loony Party as a protest vote if nothing else
Your second para demands citation. In any event, I can only scoff at your "hope" proposal.
There is always choice. It's not a two-horse race unless it's allowed to be, and there is zero reason it needs to continue to be considered one.

First off, genuinely, thanks for engaging. It's rare to hear your voices.
Spoiling your vote does nothing. I truly wish it did communicate dissatisfaction with the offerings, but (a) it doesn't actually communicate anything except an element of petulance, and (b) no difference would be made even if it did.
A Government is unarguably required. Even in a two-horse race, one or other gets power. If you don't vote, or spoil, then you allow others to decide that future entirely.
It can be construed as indifferent, uncaring, even complicit ... and, even though you guys too might feel victims, you kinda, if not in a literal sense, elected to.
People have literally given their lives so that we can ALL vote, let's not forget that, either; whilst one might understandably deny any sense of moral duty towards the Nation's politics, you do to those who gave you the genuine freedom to vote.
In the current political, social and economic climate, there will not ever be a Party (or Politician that makes promises outside Party cores) that will be held accountable for failed promises or actions.
If you want that change, HOW would you imagine it comes about via spoiling or not voting?
Your vote is your voice in a democracy. That is no trivial statement.
If "your Party" does not themselves introduce that accountability, for example, then it is your Right to use your voice to email (etc) your local MP demanding it "if s/he wants my vote", repeatedly, if needs be.
More voices are louder, so collaborate in groups. Large group's voices are louder still. And many large groups, or better, an alliance of large groups calling for the same thing, is the loudest voice of all. That is, in simple terms, how industry/corporates gets any Government's ear and have things their way.
Sooner or later, those voices will be heard, if not by "your" Party, then by another who will commit to taking up that standard, even if perhaps a new Party must be born with that at it's core (staying with accountability, a worthy suggestion).
To be fair, this is a side not taken up by many voters either, but it is how democracy works.
When voices aren't heard, the status quo continues. And by staying silent, by choosing not to use your voices, no-one can possibly know what you want.
Politics is tedious, dry ... certainly low on endorphin count and largely unrewarding, to say the least, I know.
Politics is also a long-game, and could be rewarding .
When you don't pay attention to it though, daily life occurs, and, despite hating the thought, humans adapt to change in days and weeks, accepting a new environment.
It's great you are where you are and life's good. But that's today. Whilst you (again, genuinely - no offence) "sit pretty", decisions, some of them subtle and layered, are being made all the time that will negatively affect you (and/or loved ones and friends) in the future, have already been made ... and you will wonder WhoTF came up with that, WhoTF allowed that !
Now, how much impact will non-voters and spoilers have had on that outcome, do you think? What will you say about them?
Don't wait and see. Please vote.
My apologies if you took any of that as a personal attack. That was truly not the intention. It's just difficult to contest a position without at least some treading on toes. :)
