My elderly neighbour wants to end her Sky subscription, but is worried that as she has no other aerial she wouldn't be able to receive any stations. Am I right in thinking that if she ends her...
At the end of a perfectly normal wash cycle, the door of my washing machine won't open. I've tried all the obvious things: unplugged it/ plugged it back in several times, run another programme, held...
As an occasional watcher of Coronation Street, I wonder if anyone can tell me what exactly the Underworld workers are actually doing in their temporary premises in the Community Centre. Reference is...
A large Lidl opened in the nearest town last Thursday, so I thought I'd go and take a look. Must say that compared to Aldi (just down the road from the new Lidl) it felt very cheap: harsh lighting,...
I had the misfortune to see last night's episodes, and I have to say that it had some of the worst acting I have seen for many years, perpetrated by those playing the new family that are moving in to...
All being well, I'm about to buy online a return plane ticket (Flybe to Scotland), but it's so long since I've flown, I'm not sure how it works. Do I follow the instructions on the website and print...
Just checked my emails in my Hotmail account and the Inbox and Sent Mails boxes are just blank, even though there are lots of mails there, and nothing I do can make them visible. Have I inadvertently...

This isn't the sort of programme I would normally watch, but having seen the first two parts (the final one is tonight, Thurs, at 9pm on BBC 4) I have to say I think it's a credit to the filmmaker...
Anyone else watching this? Enjoying it, but my mind keeps drifting off to wondering how many of the production team are 'embedded' with each of the couples. Must be one camera person per pair, of...
Has anyone on AB gone through the process of equity release, ie borrowing money against part of their property? I've read quite a lot about it but most info seems very off-putting, and what seems to...
The cost of the Saturday Times has just gone up to £2, and £1.80 on weekdays. (Saturday Telegraph now £2.50). But I noticed The Guardian is now £3.20 on a Saturday, and £2.20 weekdays. Blimey -...

Have just heard that Santander is closing 140 branches - very relieved that my local one is not among them. If you want to check, there's a list of closures here:...
