Welcome! Which grainfather(s) do you use?

If it is a Samsung phone you can use SmartSwitch (free app) to backup phone to Windows pc or Mac., no cloud involved. Don't know about other manufacturers.

I was with BT for years without problem. My contract was due to expire last December. Got a call in November from BT, long discussion, good deal on renewal promised. I had been paying £42 for 70/20 mbps, plus 400 hours free on landline. Renewal details came through - £56 including 'halo'. Not...

It would be great if someone could help me to understand the point of Freely. Is it simply so that you don't need an aerial any more? I'm struggling to see any other benefit. Ta.

I had an A2. Great car, but - touch controls instead of buttons. Worst though was fuel consumption - despite being so light I used to get less than 40 mpg.

Not necessarily. I looked at loans, and the interest rate on the best loan was higher than the interest rate my savings were earning. I have a low risk appetite, so my savings are not in sticks and shares. I'm retired now, so I'm not interested in using my capital to try to accumulate more...

That is excellent, but I wasn't trying to get points for the age of my system. Just pointing out that, even with a fairly old TV, you can schedule and record multiple TV programmes without a separate box! Mind you, it can't do 4 programmes at once, nor can I remotely control it! What it does do...

My Panasonic is 7 years old. No need for power on, tv guide is great, but can only record 2 programmes at once - plenty for me, no good for you! Cheers

This is what I did with my Panasonic smart tv. Works well.

Snap.

It depends. When I was planning my EV purchase 18 months ago, I got various quotes for PCP, rental, and leasing. I had savings, so no loan required. Allowing for insurance, maintenance etc, the costs worked out about the same for the first 4 years, ie depreciation plus costs was about the same...

My first bike was a Honda 50. Be fair - the clutch was 'semi automatic'! 120 mpg, I regularly did 150 mile (non-motorway) journeys. Freedom!

Ta for this. If I click on my number, it says I am a new member who joined Wednesday at 7:57 AM. Not important, but incorrect!

You find charging a PITA - fair comment. Others on here, like me, have not found it to be a PITA. Your experience doesn't negate mine - we have had different experiences and perceptions.

Yes, this was a big factor for me. I have a basic model Renault Megane etech and it has buttons for major functions. A few years back I had a small Audi (petrol) and it had touch screen everything - hated it with a passion.

Plus: * Not mentioned often on here, but terrific fun to drive. Most fun since I used to ride a motorbike. * Very cheap to run with home charging. Mine is 1.7p per mile (over 7500 miles) compared with 14p per mile for my last car (which was 55 mpg) * Very quiet in the cabin. This is one of the...

I used to visit Barrow quite often for work, and wow was the A590 slow! They have a hydro-electric plant, in N Wales I think, where they pump water from a lake up a hill in times of energy surplus, and let it pour back down when they need to generate.

I don't know about best, but it doesn't add flavour and the salt additions are OK for my water. It is just a mix of hydrochloric and sulphuric. (6.4% Hydrochloric and 8.6% Sulphuric apparently)

Wow! Or you could just use CRS (same thing as AMS) instead, and use the water treatment calculator on this site. No taste impact from CRS, but it does add some chloride and sulphate. If you prefer sums to a calculator, 1ml of CRS neutralises 180 mg of CaCO3. Or if you like a really rough rule...
