    Morning Kandy, I've got a good nature but when it's been abused in the past by friends..well I thought they was friends you learn lessons the hard way in life :dunno:
    If I was you it needs to be suggested now in case she takes it for granted that it's ok and on the day your plants could get damaged and have you thought the neighbours the other side could have had words with her or they don't get on, so the suggestion as come your way...I have to agree with your hubby on this one mate ;)

    Gail - get those phone bases as far away from your router, computers and tablets as you can. Those sort of bases play merry hell with Wi-Fi signals, even when you are not making any phone calls, as they are constantly communicating with the handsets (even if the handset is sat on the base).

    Microwave ovens can also chuck Wi-Fi routers a wobbler if they are nearby (through a wall), although this is only when they are cooking, and is quite rare

      First thing to try with the TV is to put a bit of electrical tape or even a Wee square of gaffa tape over the remote control receiver, and see if that solves it.

      Is it connected to anything else such as a cable box, android box etc?

        The tele was brought 3yrs ago when hubby re-done a new kitchen again :dunno: and where the tele is on the one wall just with freeview and the aerial is a large one in the loft fed down through into the airing cupboard and straight through the wall and into the tele but on the work surface opposite it to the left is the digital microwave and I keep the control for the tele on it :sad: ….I think that's the cause I bet :doh:

        Shouldn't be - it could be a faulty remote though. I have also seen faulty lights (especially LED ones) that are flickering in such a way that the eye can't see it, but it is at the right frequency to switch a TV on or change channels.

        It could also be a fault in the TV - anything from a dry solder joint through to a firmware issue. Start with the simple stuff first though.

        Try hiding the remote in as drawer, or take it's batteries out.

        If the TV persists in switching itself on, I would advise unplugging it from the mains when not in use, and only have it on when someone is there to keep an eye on it

          Well I hope it's not faulty as hubby will go up the wall...mind you it's only used for Heart-FM :snorky:...someone said it was sick having a tele that big on the wall for a radio :whistle:

          I'll take the batteries out and put the remote away as I can switch it on at the front and see how it goes...:thankyou:for the advice and i'll let you know how the wi-fi goes as they're supposed to be coming out between 4-7pm Monday :)

          I'm going to get it in the neck here, but here goes,
          I dont grow early spuds because up till now I've been able to buy pretty reasonable ones in the shops.
          This year, not sure what has gone on, but I dont see any fresh dug spuds for sale, you know, the kinds with the lose skin and a bit of mud.
          Morrisons have been selling Jersey Royals for months now, often green and they have obviously been out the ground for weeks, and badly stored for that matter.

          Went to a local farm shop last weekend and none available, just those nasty scrubbed ones that you see in sealed plastic bags.
          In Morrisons again this morning, saw Cornish new potatoes, usual scrubbed rubbish but I thought I'd give them a go, looked at atleast 7 packs and they were actually rotten, I threw them to one side and told an assistant.
          I've never seen spuds for sale like it, just bags of mush that fell apart when you touched them, the bags were full of water, or slime.

          Firstly, how could they have put rubbish like this on the counter without noticing it, and secondly, these are supposed to be fresh new pots, what the hell have they done with them.
          I think they have been kept in a cold store and got too cold, ie. frozen.

          And I'm still wondering why I cant buy any fresh dug spuds, when I went down on Romney Marsh about 5 weeks ago the farms were digging them, where have they gone?

            I've previously pointed out to Morrisons staff that their veg has been frosted and is rotting, but they left it on the shelves.

            Also found them opening up bags of veg past its sell by date and tipping it in with the loose stuff so they didn't have to reduce it.

            Their potatoes and onions always start sprouting much quicker than Asda's or Tesco's.

            P.S. Customers report mass shortages at Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Asda

              When I worked in the potato packing factory, all the spuds were washed when they came in.

              At the end of the line there was a bloke who's job it was to put 2 handfuls of peat in the sacks before they were stitched up :th scifD36:

                I assist them in our local Sainsbury's and remove the rotten stuff from their shelves, put them in an empty large plastic tray (taken from the shelves) , tear the bag open and leave it on the floor. Then go and tell the manager. :paladin::lunapic 130165696578242 5:
