Hey Steve - the Donate button is on the very bottom line - far right hand side.


I'm happy to send a cheque with a fee backdated to when I first joined the forum. I can even send you some folding-stuff by special delivery!


I do have a Paypal account but it is currently frozen by Paypal, which means that I can't take money out. It has a lot of money in it (about ?600). Under Paypal's Ts and Cs they can freeze any account at any time until they are satisfied that you are who you say you are. Interest on frozen accounts (which they keep) is a nice income stream so they are in no hurry to unfreeze frozen accounts. They have a copy of my passport and a current utility bill but it could still be months before I see my money again.


I'm not looking for advice here; I've already made the decision that I'm not going to get hot and bothered about Paypal - I just wanted to illustrate the point that Paypal is not a user-friendly organisation. There's nothing benign about them.

Hi, it's really good to know people want to donate, thank you. Unfortunately we can't accept cheques as we don't have a forum bank account but I believe you can pay to paypal using your credit/debit card i.e. you don't have to have a PayPal account to donate. I think there's something called electronic cheques too but I've not looked into it.



Thanks again


Mark

    • Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.
    • Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too. 
    • This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
    • Its part of a change all Doctor surgery's are undergoing.  The goverment want to stop the 8am scramble for an appointment, and its not just restricted to the Gardens. Sadly, it does impact some who are not digitally savy.
