Last week, the Keytools team celebrated Tim Robert's 60th Birthday .

Keytools' owner, Tim, along with wife Val, daughter Liz and the other 'Keytoolians' enjoyed an afternoon tea in the glorious sunshine.

Sharing stories about Keytools growth in 20 years, from one product in Tim's garage, to 1,000 products in our head office in Southampton, Tim told us, "I'm not really 60. I'm 28 with 32 years experience!"

We hope you enjoyed your party, Tim.

Keytools RSI expert, Paul Goddard, has responded to an article regarding sickness absence.

The article highlights Stafordshire County Council's crackdown on sickness rates, and the inconsistency amongst managers reporting it ... read the full article and Keytools' response here

Paul Goddard says, "The fact is that we are mostly all intensive computer users who work sitting down for long periods. Statistics now show that the resulting musculo-skeletal disorders or MSDs are now the most common cause of absence from work, that's over 55%."

"The secret is the concept of prevention. Mostly people can't be bothered and will only start complaining after it's too late but the reality is they could prevent it if they were willing to participate in avoiding the problem in the first place."

You tell them Paul!

Today is Silver Surfers Day – aimed at attracting older people to the Internet.

The day is being used to promote digital inclusion and the use of computers by older people via coordinated events all around the country.

Keytools hosted a Silver Surfers Event at their Resource Centre in Southampton. One of the attendees, Mrs Judy Fish aged 84, found her visit very rewarding:

"I managed to find and print off a Hairy Bikers recipe for Somerset Chicken. I saw them making it on TV last night, and fancied giving it a try."

"I also found old photos of the building in Portland where I grew up. It brought back some lovely memories."

Keytools mission is that everyone has the best possible equipment and resources, to use their computer easily, safely, and productively and are proud to support Silver Surfers Day.

If you’re eating your lunch while you’re reading this, first, don’t read on, and secondly stop eating at your desk please!

We’re all guilty of snacking at our desks, but it seems the harmless crumb could be attracting some furry friends to your office at night!

The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) claim mice are ‘dropping in’ and grazing on our leftovers during the night. And where do they find them? On our keyboards!

One London cleaning firm said: 'A woman worker wondered why 'seeds' were coming out of her computer keyboard when she typed.

'She was mystified because she did not eat food at her desk. An investigation showed them to be mice droppings.'

The RSC are calling on employers to adopt a clean workstation policy and have launched a search for Britain's dirtiest qwerty. They plan to publish photographs of the UKs worst offenders on their website.

Our advice? Take a break at lunch from now on!
