I wonder if anyone can help - I have an HP Pavilion laptop, bought in Italy about 5 years ago - the computer itself seems ok still, but it keeps switching itself off and I think this is due to a bad connection with the charger (the battery gave up the ghost long ago). I tried a new charger (supposedly offical HP one but I have my doubts) bought on ebay but it doesn't work at all. Does anyone have any experience of this - is it worth trying another new charger or could it be something more sinister wrong with the laptop itself or perhaps the internal connection to the power supply? I'm hoping I don't have to end up buying a new laptop but can solve this another way.

It could be a poor internal connection, and that possibly requires a resolder or replace of the mains socket on the laptop itself, not expensive or difficult to do. If it's not that then it could be the failure of the power supply interface (possibly the power board if your laptop uses one) but having that repaired would be cheaper than getting a new laptop.

    • The problem with the first Southwark leadership election is that two proxy votes were cast, which is against Southwark's own party rules. So that is why the election was re-run. The controversy is in switching to an online as opposed to in person second election. James has causes he vehemently stands for, and it's fair enough if he thinks the local Labour Party is no longer for him. Government is not easy, and there are hard decisions to be made always. London councils have always had a better deal when it comes to central funding, and anyone who travels to the North frequently can see the stark difference. It's that failure to see the bigger picture that I find most surprising about his comments. Sure, as a local councillor he should be always arguing for local needs, but reform of central government funding to give more help to poorer regions has been a long held aim by this Labour Party, and especially since Brexit, where poorer regions benefitting from EU grants lost out.  As always, it will be the public that decides at the ballot box.

    • Why not get a real poodle.  They can be clipped to look like a cockapoo if you like.  They don’t need to be in a show clip.  They don’t shed.    Both breeds would need regular grooming.  I have/had friends with very charming poodles both medium and standard so see if you can make the acquaintance of some.
