I moved offices this week. My phone still thinks I'm in my old office - maps, location based apps etc. It's the same whether I'm on office wifi or 3G (I'm not surprised about the wifi because I guess the IP address is still the same). I though by the end of the week it would have sorted itself out by picking up GPS/cell site info, but no. If I go outside and walk down the street, it's fine.


Obviously not a major drama, but kind of annoying. Have reset all settings but not full restore - seemed a bit excessive. Any ideas, anyone?

Yeah, switched location services off and on again. Immediately afterwards it comes with a location halfway between new and old offices (initially funny but not exactly helpful) but then panics and reverts to former location.


Tbh, it's been interesting as it's revealed how quietly I've been using lots of location apps, and I now resent having to go out in the streets and look for things

      Be careful on the pavements...

      If we accept what the OP has written, and it does seem credible, the father did not respond to the incident appropriately. His child was out of his line of sight when the OP was hit from behind by the child on a bike. Many of us, having been startled like this, might express some displeasure. Rather than a sincere and concerned apology, it sounds as though the father instead attempted to paint the OP as the problem, even laughing at them. I don't know what kind of message that would send to his child but doubt it is a good one.

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By shazza76 · Posted

      Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!
