I have virginmedia fibre installed at present at 50mbs and service is ok but another price increase next month, somehow they have got me up from around £33 per month to £47.50 next month with telephone at 24/7 free over the past 3 years. I use internet moderately these days mainly utube stuff...

I have been making white bread successfully 3 times a week with a Kenwood Chef for over 5 years and using fresh yeast from Sainsbury but lately things are going wrong. My dough comes off the Chef sticky. Sainsbury yeast, (tried hovis yeast and same problem) 25grms Allison strong white flour...

Finally sorted the new electric tariff thanks. booked 3 year contract with Green Energy, a little higher than some quotes but 3 years, reason I suspect inflation. When we went into EU we got nearly 25% inflation in the 70's, I reckon it could do the same coming out.

Thanks all for those recommendations, I will let the forum know the outcome.

That was certainly a very bad experience, BG need some business training obviously.

My current electric fixed rate tariff expires end August but I cannot seem to find a good tariff this time, I seem to be led astray looking for rates because google keeps trapping me and restricting contacts to general markets . (and only green tariffs which were never the cheapest anyway)...

Received a pin card reader unsolicited free and free return. I never use a mobile phone only for emergency type calls, so is this reader a waste of space to me, also no use on windows and I do no banking on line.

Perhaps if the householder accompanies the workman does that mean the householder should be entitled to free tip is own rubbish

Thanks for the replies above, I will have to check with Torbay council it seems each time a see an advert for handyman gardener etc.

These days I have someone who deals with my hedges and small trees on my garden plot, can he take the waste to our local tip or does he have to have a license these days to carry waste, does anyone know the rules these days?

You have inspired me to open up my tool box after a couple of years (2nd retirement), now in my 80's and I have got my hand tools and I like your box.

Thanks for your advice re scan. Going well at moment so not messing. Thanks to all for sorting another one for me, good place to be.

BTW I have not started a scan yet and I have for 38 years always used a loft aerial in our road.

Thanks again Eric, I shall wait and see how things go this week, we do have a telephone mast closer than that Beacon Hill tv tower. I believe that causes some problems in the area.

Thanks, we did not have any transmission problems Sunday evening and your news that work had been completed was good news. We did have two electric power cuts at around 5am Sat and Sunday mornings for upto 2 hours so I now suspect tv masts were involved. So I shall do a channel reinstall and...

Post code is tq3 1ex, will that do the job?

Yes thanks Eric, btw our daughter telephoned last night an said “dad get on your you tube and watch Spurs v Liverpool” mind you I did switch off at 3 minutes, that penalty was unfair , the ball was kicked at the player at close range imo to cause the offence, seen using my router and a 40” screen

Down here in the WCountry we are getting dispruption from engineers and Beacon Hill transmitter. Would I getter better reception if I used I/Player and other services if I used my PC and router to obtain programs rather than direct from my aerial connection at the present time. I am informed by...

Mine is actually OK for light hobby work.

I have surrendered, a local tv engineer is coming up, he says because of transmitter upgrades in the area signals are questionable where they are coming from. Appears there is a transmitter around 100 yds away (on a telephone mast?) and it might be picking up that one and might even need the...
