Thanks all, it's all sorted now. It was a WiFi problem. Plusnet were very helpful.

Oh great. I can't do any of that because it says I am not connected to the internet. Going to phone Plusnet I think.

Yes, but that's using "pop" in a different context. Same with "grab".

Thanks both, I'll try again this morning.

I suddenly can't get online on my laptop. I have a Plusnet router and a Netgear network extender which I have been using for months, and all of a sudden before I can access any websites I am being asked to sign in and create an account with a password. The site which is asking me to do this is www.mywifiext.net, and it is not a secure site. On googling Netgear, it seems they have had issues with hackers 🙄 I have turned on and off my laptop and router, gone into settings/WiFi on my laptop, tried both Firefox (which I normally use) and Opera, and I can't get online at all. I am working in a different room to usual due to noise from building work, but it has been fine all day. Just in case, I moved my laptop to be right next to the router, and still zilch. Does anyone know why I would suddenly be asked out of the blue to create a Netgear account from a site which doesn't mention Netgear, and am I safe to do that? ETA: I have googled, and it seems it is a genuine site, but why am I suddenly being asked to do this now? I am going to go and lie down in a very very dark room 😭😭😭 I am getting a message saying "You might need to sign up with this network's internet service provider to get access to the internet. Connections to webpages are currently being redirected to a different webpage". WTF???

I live round the corner. I've only just seen this crossing. The whole thing seems bizarre to me. The road is not a busy one, and I can't see any need for a zebra crossing in that position. Have I missed something?

I'm still waiting for an item and/or its replacement, so I don't think whatever the problem is has been rectified.

Oh, and also Grab. But I'm not sure if that's already been mentioned (probably by me :)) )

Pop. As in eihter a "pop" of colour, GRRRRRR or "I'll pop it through your letter box" etc GRRRRRRR

My understanding from what has been said in the thread previously is a) You do not pay the charge unless you are actually driving in the zone and b) You only pay the daily charge once no matter how many times you go in and out of the zone and/or drive within it. Anyway, it seems sensible to go for automatic payment, then you can see what you have been charged for and why, and if necessary and possible and preferable avoid doing some of those things in future, eg moving your car from one side of your own road to the other ......

Royal Mail must then show you your signature! But I thought even Royal Mail took photos these days? ETA: If anybody else is trying to respond to Ad... 's posts, be aware that apparently the trainer name is banned in forum posts (why?!) so you will not be able to include their name in your posts.

So it's posted alright here. Very strange.

Well I've reworded it loads of times and I still can't post it. This is it: Adidas_guy Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I received electronic proof of delivery from Royal > Mail which says a parcel was delivered to me at > 13:54 today and apparently I signed for it?. > However it was not delivered.

Ah, could be that though I have no idea what! I'll have another look, thanks ianr. Clearly I can post in this bit ok ...

I'm unable to post on the ED issues page. Anyone else? Of course if it's a more general problem I won't be able to post this either!

Slinkissimo, I have PMed you.

Unfortunately, though, Lloyds don't collect empty blister packets for recycling. I asked them when the local Superdrug said their branch didn't. I believe any pharmacy will take out of date and unused medication, but I may be wrong?

So do Superdrug at Camberwell Green according to the website. I've got a massive bag to take there, but I'm going to phone first just in case. The East Dulwich branch told me a while back that the branch was too small to do this.

Thanks DKH. Glad I found this out before I did something irrevocable (like buy another car) :))
