Trossachs definitely have one!

I just want to recommend Glen, who ground a tree stump in my garden in October. Access through my flat is quite awkward and makes larger machinery impossible to use. Glen's smaller 'tree stump grinder' did the job. The whole process was quick, safe and efficient, and Glen is a really amiable and professional guy. His mobile number is 07941 159242

yes, that's how it's spelt Taking a long old time to load, and not really getting there. I will let it do its thing and see if it sorts out. A shame, as I really enjoyed going through it when the link was put up originally. Thank you!

Does anyone know what is up with the bombsight website? I accessed it way back when it was posted here, but today, it's just text and broken links. 😞

I disagree, it was pretty filthy back then, plus the issues that Southwark have had were the ones left by EA.

It's not exactly blocking the pavement. No more so than the bicycle chained up in the foreground. Whilst the majority may not need it, the minority might. It's definitely not very aesthetically pleasing, but less intrusive than piles of lime bikes lying around.

So do I, and I started it!!! I have changed title.

I went last week, and it was lovely and warm, then went on Tuesday and wished I hadn't stepped in as it was freezing. It shouldn't be so cold that you shiver when you briefly stop swimming! A lot of grit in parts at bottom.

With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible. If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better. I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile. I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room. I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.

For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500. (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted. Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me. Usually get a decent reduction. Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal. Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.

Amazon seem to do this more and more now. They don't even ring the doorbell, just leave them lying on the door step, then you find out it's been delivered when you check tracking. The official Amazon vans are frequently followed on their routes by thieves and take the opportunities freely given.

Me too, now and then it would be down to the exchange and an issue there. Comparing what I have had done in the last 15 or so years with them, friends have had more issues with Sky, Virgin etc than I have ever had! I moved to fibre a while ago with them, and, 'touchwood', everything has been great.

If it's your Wi-Fi that was the problem, that's more likely the router (or the device you were using), not the actual service coming into the router. I am with plusnet, and whenever mind has been glitchy, I check with a device connected via ethernet cable to the router to see if that is okay. I've been with them for potentially 15 years now and each time there has been an issue (not many and not plusnets fault, more the infrastructure) I have looked elsewhere, but everyone moans about their providers at some point! Some more than others. I often feel it's better the devil you know!

they probably frequent the parks more in summer when there are more people around, dropping food etc. Likewise, I haven't seen as many in my garden recently.

I have noticed over the years, they put things on sale, when they can't shift the on the shelf stock, which isn't surprising.
