Just be careful about buying cheap 'Fake' chargers that may catch fire or electicute someone.

There are so many about..


Only buy chargers from Apple Stores. Stay safe..

My iPad is under guarantee with John Lewis. I called them and they said they didn't have any, but that I could buy one, send them the receipt and they would refund me. I think I have to get an Apple one otherwise it could void guarantee. There isn't an Apple Store near here. I called sainsburys and they have their own version for the price as the Apple version. Bizarre.

Azalea, I really hope this is helpful : I have this very week done this trip myself for the same reason: if you do not want to drive and pay parking, you can get the train from DH direct to Bromley South, turn right and into the Mall, there is an Apple shop, nearest one north is Covent Garden, I guess you know, you can get the 176, but then you could argue that if you took the 12 to Regent Street Apple shop you could then go on to JL and claim your refund. If you wait long enough they will have one in. Good luck

Or if you don't want to make either of the journeys, why not have it delivered from PC World. A 12W genuine Apple iPad charger:

BTW. Here you can read about (and see pictures of) genuine Apple chargers exploding, tripping electrics, etc.:

My advice: If you use one charger for both iPhone and iPad, get a more powerful iPad charger. People often confuse them (i.e. the iPhone charger "condensed" inside of a plug with the slightly bigger dedicated box of an iPad charger) because they both have the same lightning plug. But using a less powerful iPhone charger to charge a more power demanding iPad, makes the small charger overload and overheat. The electronics doesn't like too much heat and ultimately "revolts".


Regards,

Paul

    • It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.
    • Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.
    • Completely jobless and lunatic behaviour coming on a forum and complaining about a 4 year old and the child’s bike riding skills. Honestly grow up
    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
