I was very pleased to see that Boots now recycle foil medication blister packs so I dowloaded the app. They even offer points as a reward. It’s only at limited branches and it’s the most unwieldy scheme I’ve ever encountered. You have to photograph each empty pack and they approve them (or not). Stupid, feel it might be a bit of greenwashing going on here. Has anyone else tried it?

Posted in: I.T. Non-Techie help, information and tips
We are going to Japan in the not too distant future. We have iPhones 7 on EE sim only contracts. In Japan we will want to be able to use phones for incoming and outgoing calls, check emails/websites etc . I know we can use WhatsApp when we can connect to wifi and we can switch on EE data roaming but it’s nearly £9 a day. I think we can download esims very much cheaper. I think after downloading one your phone should just work as normal, have I understood correctly? Does anyone have experience or could someone read up on esims and confirm my understanding? Any help appreciated. -

I really enjoyed this one. I thought it was an interesting and disturbing story, full of complicated characters who challenge you to like them. I thought it was a very pessimistic view of S. Africa and its struggles. I don’t know whether things are any better now. I know there was a lot of symbolism attached to the dogs in the book but never quite got my head round it. I can see why it won The Booker prize. What did you think? -

Oh dear, what can I say? I really didn’t take to Cloudstreet and have no idea why it was picked as one of the books of the decade. Perhaps you need to be an Australian to really get it. I found it very monotonous and I’m afraid I didn’t get very far at all - perhaps only a third of the way through - and somebody else will have to tell me whether or not it improves over time. I just felt the pace was so slow, the characters didn’t really engage me, the story took too long to develop. Seems some people really love it, but not me!
