Having just bought a computer for my son I have found the initial set-up, privacy set-up, gaming set-up a complete minefield!! I am also continually being asked can I connect, can I have a you tube account, can I have an email account...it goes on and on...I have no idea what is safe, what to look out for etc...


Our school has started to take this seriously and has done some great work on e-safety but think there may be a market out there for 1:1 or small group workshops to work through these issues with parents and children.


Maybe a course with 5/6 hands on sessions setting up your computer safely, a session on Facebook, one on minecraft, one on email etc..so we cld learn how it works and how to do it safely.


We are probably not a target market as we don't have much money but it seems to be a really important emerging subject for tutors to cover?....just a thought...

I think it's great idea. Computers have changed so much since we were young! (Anyone else grow-up with an Apple IIe?) Plus social media and games have exploded in the last decade.


Are any local libraries offering something like this? This could be combined with other basic tech skills to make a course that would run over a few of weekends, or afterschool.

      Is anyone getting rid of a play tent? I’m looking for one suitable for a 6 year old boy. Many thanks.

      FredMarsh Started conversation: 6 minutes ago I must agree ! Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant ! The erection of coral fencing  to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible. The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone ! Just a couple of attended checkouts left,  sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag.  What could be easier or more efficient ? If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss. If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform  running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly  shortly afterwards )  It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral. There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. ! Why do I go there? Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !! And NO !   I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike

      We do not go there anymore, it used to be a pleasant experience, but now shoppers are made to feel like criminals and the prices are not great. The till receipt gates to stop us nicking stuff do not work half the time - I would rather shop somewhere that makes me feel welcome. We also want to support our local independents, so we are trying to eat cheaper using less costly ingredients and buy local - it's a good way for us also to lose some weight! Veg and pulses.....and less booze 😞
