      SWMBO is completely lost in Call The Midwife atm, never misses it.

      I love mostly drama, good cop stuff like Shetland (it’s different to the rest) Strike, Collateral and Line of Duty. Documentaries, History.

      Ditto for Last of the Summer Wine and I still watch old episodes now.

      Almost a mirror image of me Bob ?

      – I also like the French (English sub-titled) “Spiral”, various Scandi and the US “Longmire”cop series.

      Luckily Call The Midwife has just finished again ?

        I remake a usb stick and upgrade it for myself every month, with 5 different Malware, Adware, Rootkit and AV scanners.

        Which are the preferred ones you have on the stick ?

          That be verderer territory, near where they killed the bears!

          My grand-father who was born in Cinderford was adamant that 2 bears is bare faced fiction – it was only the one ?

            traffic

            Louth town centre is a “compact” town, that is an ancient place with narrow streets

            Sounds a lot like Lydney – the narrow main road through the town in places only has room for 2 cars (one each way). Some of the pavement is also so narrow that you can’t get 2 people side by side. When lorries/vans stop to do deliveries – even though they park partly on the pavement, you get instant vehicle tail backs.  It is not at all safe for pedestrians, yet alone pleasant to walk through.

              I think the idea is that they go where there are double yellow lines or “sensitive” locations, not outside Joe Public’s houses ?

                      Our drive is a foot plus deep, with drifts half-way up the car doors.

                      Seen 1 vehicle today – a meals on wheels Land Rover  – going uphill (just).

                      My daughter (only a mile away but 300 feet higher) says there are 5 foot berms down her lane – no chance to get out.

                      Normally we get hardly any snow here in Lydney, it is just the slope of our close + polished ice that stop us getting mobile

                      – but not this time – I have only opened the front door once and shut it immediately as a there is a 3 foot drift against it, threatening to blow/fall inside.

                        This is a weird happening !

                        Starling road block

                        Is it weather related ?

                                  Wileyfox ‘will continue’ despite administration

                                  Clicky

                                  “We’re restructuring the whole business and will continue,” Coombes said.

                                  “Russian bank Promsvyazbank (PSB) collapsing in December was a surprise, we’ve been forced into this until we can fix it.

                                  “Customer service will continue in regards to repairs and updates. There will be a couple of days where we cease operations due to administrative process.

                                  “Future phone launches will only be pushed back a couple of days, the Wileyfox Pro will be released this month.”

                                    But, from Tuesday October 18, people will have to spend £5 and obtain a voucher which they will then have to validate at a parking machine in order to leave without being fined, although it will not apply to anyone staying for less than half an hour.

                                      This article says –

                                      Tesco have introduced the fee in an attempt to combat rogue town centre visitors parking without buying anything.

                                      Previously, people could park at the Tesco Extra in the centre of Walsall for two hours for free

                                      Now, people will have to spend £5 and obtain a voucher which they will then have to validate at a parking machine in order to leave without being fined, although it will not apply to anyone staying for less than half an hour.

                                      The store is one of nine in the country which is getting the new technology.

                                      The “less than half an hour” I would assume, would cover your “Direct click and collect” Collection ?

                                        I’ve never come across a Tesco with a Pay Meter either – it is normally limted free parking (at least 90 minutes).

                                        I use Tesco Direct all the time – brilliant collection service in store – far faster than Argos.
