Thank you Shiney & Clueless As it happens i now don't need to "bring in the boss" as i found some info on Gov.uk so i copy & pasted it into the email and now they are looking into it They were faffing about and telling me it's nowt to do with them and i should email some one else but i was in...

Certainly looks like that is what I will need to do.

We still survive with two landlines (been told, so far, that the 2025 shut down has been postponed until they can improve the mobile service in the area) and currently make and receive up to 150 calls per month on each.We both receive between 40 and 100 emails a day (mine is the lower end...

Yup, thats the one, though again the link only in the email, not you actual post ?

Thanks for everyone's help, I shall have a look at them and see which is best for me

Have you seen the new Rasp Pi 5 details released today ? Introducing: Raspberry Pi 5! - Raspberry Pi

@Retired Have done the same with our router, running 5,10 or 20 mtr is no problem.To ensure you can get full speed up to 1Gbit then use a RJ45 Cat 6, 6A or 7 patch cable.We often buy from here , very good service.Ethernet | Kenable

Sat down last night and really thought it through. We worked out that we actually only use the land line for half a dozen phone calls all together. Incoming that is and all of them could be informed of a change to a Mobile number very easily. As for outgoing, neither of us could think of any...

Sorted thanks. Bought a new repeater. Too far for a cable to reach.

One Drive isn't as bad as it used to be to be fair to it - if you've got key folders set up for it, it does make moving from one PC to a new PC much easier

They're trying to save money, not the environment. Littlewoods catalogue told me to print out my statement for my records.

Yep,I certainly don't need all that.

That surprised us @pete, wondered if that could be so ?!However seems LloydsDirect are contacted to the NHS and it allows you to use your NHS log in. see - LloydsDirect and the NHS

I don't have much patience this year as things just seem to get harder and harder, i've also had to say sorry to Miss Jiff for some of the bad words i was saying when we were getting nowhere at first with all the different people in and out of the chat (not to the people in chat just words at...

Fortunately not otherwise TMS would be really stuck with overseas series. Don't even need a computer, just a radio. Digital will be necessary for TMS next year when they switch off Radio 4 Long Wave and retreat to Radio 5 Live Extra.

I wondered if anyone recognised the ID plate. That would pin down the WHERE, but not the WHO nor the HOW.

We can now get our Amazon orders postage free no matter how small a price for the item and usually by day three. Our village shop now has a contract as a drop box for them.

Thanks Ricky. Yes, both monitors need a power supply and both are plugged in. How can you distinguish between a USB 3 & a USB2 port and or lead? My Win11 computer has 6 USB ports but I've no idea whether they are 2 or 3! Anything I plug into them works OK . It has no problem with the mouse or...

Thank you @DiggersJo I've had a look at that page and it talks about a phone, which I haven't got, and it would be too complicated for me anyway so I think I'll manage as I am ... Thanks for your help.

@ricky101 In case you haven't solved it, this applies for Win 11 but I assume that WIn 10 has similar as it gets still updates (with the target to get Win11). It's from January this year: Photos App missing thumbnails
