    Broadband deals 2026?

    We both use Lyca. I joined them a couple of years ago after EE refused to back down on charging me roaming fees while we were on Corfu and they said I was in Albania and charged me £38. OK it's just across the water but they didn't even bother investigating so I left. My partner joined a month...

    TV adverts that get on your nerves.

    I find those St James ads that bookend Sky Arts programs totally patronising and boring. Be glad when Sky find a new sponsor for that excellent channel.

    Canon 80D repair required

    If it's just the card pushed in backwards then try a phone repair shop. They have tools for that kind of problem

    Getting Old?

    I'm 72 now and was looking forwards to an active retirement. Sadly that went wrong when I was diagnosed with Myeloma in November 2023. Now I can no longer travel, use my camera and lead a normal life. My days are spent looking at four walls most of the time with the occasional trip to...

    What basic camera.

    Consider Panasonic Lumix TZ90's too. Has all you require apart from the bluetooth/NFC but has WiFi. Used prices on Ebay start at £250 but the quality of the pocketable/hand bagable (is there such a word?) is well known. It can also do selfies so that'll be right up a teenagers street. One...

    Shropshire (not)sinkhole

    We had a canal bank collapse near us (Wolverley) some time ago in 2019. It still hasn't been fixed completely but just enough to allow boats through. The Canal Trust blame Severn Trent. ST blame CT. Meanwhile the lane running above has been closed to all traffic for 6 years now meaning a 2 mile...

    Have Flickr gone mad ?

    Leave the Pro account to go back to the free one. They'll then give you the option of staying with Pro for the price that you paid last year. Fifty pound odd.

    Non UK BARCELONA

    In Montjuic pay a visit to the temporary Barca FC home at the Olympic Stadium and for the best views of Barca + great food go the Olympic swimming pool down the road a bit. Demolish the tapas first then sit on the steps with a pint of Estrella and work out your pano shot. Add in Cuitadella...
