Blimey is octal still used for anything other than calculators? its a long long time ago since I learnt multiplication in numbers with other bases and how to convert 1 base to another. Nowadays its pretty much all good old fashioned denary

No. helters are like helmets, by the time you really need one, it's too late to start getting one.
