Husband has a new iPhone 8. We entered the passcode incorrectly too often (it had changed from 4-digits to 6), and now it’s locked with the message “iPhone unavailable”. I can’t even get in to do a...
I was feeling a bit nostalgic for the two times I went in the late 80s so ‘tuned in’ tonight. All those kids, including the wonderful Billie Eilish, weren’t even a twinkle when I last went I felt so...
Has anyone seen Truffle Marmite in the shops? It was released as a special edition at some Sainsbury’s in April, but I’ve only just read about it. Must get some, but which branches in the South West...
I know lots of us here love puzzles, including Wordle, so I was wondering if you’ve seen NY Times’s other word games. A friend told me about Letter Boxed which I’m just trying to do. Quite puzzling....
Husband is losing the feeling in his hands and has trouble holding things. The phone is a particular problem. Is there a thing we can put on the phone that will enable it to be held easily. I’ve tried...
Another variation on Wordle. You have to guess the country given colour-coded clues on how close your try is. It only took me 17 goes today! Terrible! Quite fun if you like this sort of thing....
My first grandchild is due next month, and I’d love to knit him a little cardigan. I used to knit a lot, but not for about 28 years now. Please can you give me a suggestion of where to get a pair of...
My Mini’s driver’s side car window is stuck half-open. I’ve looked at various Mini sites and people are suggesting giving the inside door a few whacks. I’ve tried that. I don’t think it’s a fuse gone...
Have you used these people before? I bought tickets through it to see EltonJohn at the O2 London in Nov 2020. It was postponed till this year. I’m a bit worried that I might have lost my money. Is...
I love snooker and thought I understood the rules, but.... I’ve seen players play and miss, and a foul and miss has been called. The opponent can ask for the balls to be replaced. Sometimes it seems...

Amongst the PM’s ‘great news’ about the roadmap for coming out of lockdown I saw no mention of university students. I know most unis have already said no F2F learning or socialising until September,...
My dad has a very basic phone with Giffgaff which he is happy with for calls and texts. He has just bought an iPhone - because he wants to use banking apps - and would like to transfer his credit and...
As vegan son can’t come for Christmas now I have a surplus of veg to do something with. I was thinking about blanching and freezing the aubergines, but do I need to peel them first? Same with sweet...
I was reading about an elderly gent who on being asked by his daughter what he’d like for Christmas replied “I could do with a new ball of string”. That’s him sorted, said daughter. It got me...
Well this is a strange rule. You’re not allowed to play at the other side of a court from a person to play tennis but you can sit next to someone on a river bank if you’re angling. Any more sillier...
Just wondering. I need a haircut before everything locks down again. I usually need my roots by now, too. I’ve been on HRT for 2 1/2 months and I’ve got no grey roots. Is that down to the HRT? Is this...
