She has been granted permission to return to fight her case for re-instating her citizenship. what do people think of this ?

It was right to delete a post that was just advertising a product after all this is a discussion group, but I did notice that the company has joined other groups. This was their first post but just to let people know that the offender is in some private groups including a doggie one.

Does anyone use any chemicals or detergent in these ?
The instructions with the cleaner says not to but when I was ordering new pads there was one advertised.

Interesting article. ---- but I am still confused. Directive to wear mask in certain places from 24. July ---- so what happens in the meantime? Do they hope we catch it and perish or is the virus taking a holiday break? --- laughing face, can not to emoji.

They're uncomfortable,
You only wear them in public,
and when you don't wear one.......

I have been with Virgin for many years (was NTL before) every year they put the prices up and every year I haggle and get a better deal.
This year when my haggled discount of £41 was due to rise to £54! I phoned them again threatening to leave, my normal ploy and was immediately given a new price of £39 for exactly the same package I have had for years providing that I have an 18 month contract.
As I am very satisfied with Virgin and would not want to leave I am a happy bunny

Not what you’d expect

We are all getting vouchers from Mr Sunak that give us up to 50% off food in some restaurants. Only in August and only from Monday to Wednesday. Nothing off drinks. Maximum of £10 discount, so not many will get the full 50% off unless you are Billy Nomates.
Who will be going out for a meal?

My mobile scooter finally arrived middle size, suitable for transport in parts and comfortable. Have not done any long runs.
However was told to charge up every night. With all rechargeable batteries like telephone, toothbrush one is told to only charge when nearly empty to prolong the life of the battery. What is so different with scooter batteries?

Edward sharing an ice cream with his pal Pip on a 'special' day!

According to different news articles, it seems that footfall in shops is still at least 50% less than it was this time last year. There are calls for the Chancellor to do something to boost them, ie a cut in VAT or a (ridiculous imo) £500 voucher for everyone to spend in them.

The question is would either of those things make you more willing to go back to actual shopping rather than online? Is there anything else that is likely to temp you to go shopping?

Not so long ago we had a posting about "hummingbird hawk moth" Lucky me just seen one on my lavender. So far have not seen it again.

I wanted a quote on internet and entered my phone number. ---back came the reply number not recognised. It is only a payg phone, no access to internet and I have used the same number for about 20 years.

Had an email this morning from a very rich South African lady who has only 2 months to live and no family, she wants to give all her money away and as soon as she has my bank details she will send it to me.
Aren't i lucky.

A member has commented that this is a joke; I can assure you it is not.

Hi

I need to repair a computer which has several software problems, including files which need recovering.

The computer may or may not have a virus.

I have assorted repair software including virus scanners which I can run from a USB stick, but I don't want to run the risk of the files on the USB stick getting corrupted or infected.

Several years ago USB sticks often had write protect switches, but all of the modern drives I've seen don't have switches and the last stick I had with a switch died a few weeks ago.
Do any of you know of a brand/model of USB stick which still has a write protect switch?

It needs to be a minimum of 4GB but ideally larger.

If all else fails most SD cards have write protect switches but I'd prefer a dedicated USB drive rather than a card and a reader.

I heard that these will soon be legal on the roads. Not something I am looking forward to at all. Does anyone else have reservations?
