Not keen on tipping, although I always do it on the basis that service workers often rely on tips, but food delivery (mainly men)... If it’s say £27 I give them £30, and while I don’t WANT any...
Big hoo-ha in the news about broadband speeds/www connection failures.

I want to switch my current bank account to a more ethical place, like a Credit Union. The ones round my way don't do bank accounts in that sense. What are the rules about Credit Union membership? I...
My partner wants a security camera. Trouble is, she's seen the TV programmes where the CCTV operative uses a joystick to point the camera in the direction wanted, plus zoom in/out on the 'suspect'. I...
Got a pukka letter from HMRC saying I was due a substantial sum as a refund, and that for 4 days only, I could go on-line, enter my NI number and bank details, and get my money. Like you (I hope!) I...
Is there anywhere on the www selling Felix jelly pouches Individually? Our cat only eats 3 out of the 12 flavours in a box, which means his meals are hugely expensive! Good ploy by Felix, but many cat...
Googling it throws up some very conflicting answers.
Specifically, I want to run a webcam Wirelessly, i.e. not down a USB cable.

Can you buy such a thing as a harness for a webcam? Either a head-mounted one, or maybe a top-pocket version. I want to make some v.short instructional videos showing how to do certain things with...

Just listening to a R4 programme on Bitcoin. So rather than overthrow capitalism and its cash manifestation (the US Dollar, largely), what you have to do is invent a brand new currency, similarly...
In the olden days, you could ask your local nick to send round its Crime Prevention Officer, who would have a good gander at your home and point out insecure points. Do CPOs still exist, and do they...
Most fridges or fridge-freezers have mainly shelves. Big, open expanses, where you're supposed to stack your perishables one on top of the other, making access difficult. We use plastic boxes to try...
Emojis must surely be a passing fad, as they are a useless substitute for real language. So why do so many otherwise intelligent people not call this spade a spade? Are they scared of not being...
Using iTunes, I find the Equalizer very handy. Sometimes, playing words or music just through Safari, I feel the lack of the Equalizer functions. Apart from recording the stuff in Safari and then...
I use these regularly, but all of a sudden UK suppliers haven't got any, and it seems Spenco have stopped making them. Anyone got any ideas as to a supplier who still has Spenco 2nd Skin Circles, as...
Strikes me watching 'crash for cash' examples on TV that if drivers kept a safe distance from the car in front most of these 'accidents' would never happen.
Or have two hands on the wheel......
We want to give a young relation a photo album as a wedding present, with a load of ancestral photos included - parents, grandparents, parents as children, and so on. The ones that Google chuck up...
We've got by for years on pay-as-you-go old Nokias, but we're interested in getting modern and upgrading to iPhone-type phones. What is the cheapest way of getting a monthly contract (if that indeed...
