I'm more concerned with financial stuff sent in the post. The very late arrival of a bank card earlier in the year caused me all sorts of problems which are still reverberating.

I do know someone with a tricycle. She lives in Forest Hill I also know someone with a unicycle. I'm not going to be getting one of those 🤣 Anyway, my ancient car has just passed its MOT, hooray, and I'm going to keep it while I suss out the financial effect of ULEZ.

I think it just must not have been available streamed. I don't normally watch live TV but I just checked and I'm getting Channel 4 fine this morning. So much for spending the best part of an hour changing passwords, turning things on and off etc etc 😶

It was brilliant, we watched it at The Actress in the end 🤣

I no longer have a telly

And my Amazon prime free trial expired two days ago 😭😭😭

Plus it says the match is "unavailable live". WTF?????

I'm getting a message Channel 4 currently off air. Anhyone else?

Women can and do deliver post as well!

Why have you posted this again here? It's already in the Covid section.

Ah! Is what I saw as one big spider actually two spiders expletive deleted ing?

I can only see one spider, a very large one in the middle. Is that the male?

I'm immuno suppressed and haven't had that letter, however as I've scarcely had any post for weeks it will probably arrive in a few months' time, if it ever does. But it may be that it is only going out to people in the age group likely to have children of that age, which I'm not (granchildren yes, children no!)

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 :)) )
