I read in the Daily Record, today, that in February, there will be a mega snow storm, 600 miles from North to South, that will leave 40 inches in the Highlands and not much less, further South, I will be locked in for the duration if that comes along. Mike.

There is a vending machine in one of the shopping centres in Croydon, it includes compartments to charge your phone, there was another a couple of years ago, in a different centre, that was exclusive for phone charging. I have never used either, nor would I ever. Last year I bought 2 new...

Hi Nathan, I have had the PC checked, it is a fairly high spec machine, it has 2 Display Adapters, one in the Chip, plus an HD one separate, it is an i7 and the problems only started last week or so ago. I am using Mozilla Firefox, with Google as the search engine, this configuration has been...

I have been watching, occasionally, about the weather in America, it is frightening to me, anyway, that so much snow can disable a country of that size! Here, in London, if there is an inch or so of snow, on the roads, no buses run, so people can't get to work unless they can walk to a Tube...

Over here there are several different offers to charge you phone for free and I have seen people using them, this I think is silly, not so long ago we were advised to avoid them, especially the ones where you had to pay, some of them were interrogating any phone that was attached to it, some...

Thanks, Mike, but it froze again today, it only happens on The Daily Mail site, so maybe it is because I didn't pay to use it, I have removed the cookies from that site and I hope that it doesn't happen again. It is easy to fix, just hold in the power button till it trips, then start it again...

Oh dear, Pepper, here is some healing. 🙏 Mike.

When you leave the app, Mack, use the left arrow at the bottom of the handset, it will take you back to the calling page, I always use the left arrow, when leaving any area, you don't have too much stuff on the screen if you do. Mike.

I was really sad when I heard about this, I loved Holland, I lived over there in 73, building the high voltage towers by the Juliana Canal, I even learned the Dutch language, I thought that they were the best organised country in Europe, except that they had high taxes, now look at it, it all...

As far as I know, so far, it is the odd coffee shop that won't take cash, all other establishments accept both, I don't have any credit cards, only debit ones and as they are attached to an actual Bank Account, I only have enough in them to go shopping, plus also some cash, I don't want too much...

I know what you are on about MacTexas, I had similar, if your calling screen is on Recent, or all, look left, under the Contacts Button, there is another button, "View Contacts", that will take you to the alphabetical list. Mike.

Equals disaster, they have had lots attack on young women and resentful battles between, young men on both sides. The Dutch refugee housing project that became a nightmare: JANE FRYER Some things are never thought out properly I fear. Mike.

After lots of digital fraud and people being conned out of lots of money, their government is bringing back cash as a backup to the Debit/Credit cards. I heard this on the news yesterday and must admit that I didn't know that they had gone "Cashless". Cards are fine up to a point, we don't...

I have found an unknown copy of Norton Anti Virus inside this PC, according to its properties, it has been in the computer since March, last year, must have come with the machine, but never used and somehow started causing mischief, lately! It is no more living rent-free in my machine, I have...
