I don't have one either but I don't think its possible to buy a phone these days that will do nothing else but er..phone.


Leaglebeagle - my limited knowledge of them is that you can add applications for pretty much anything - hear a song playing on the radio but forget the name of the band? It can tell you! Need a spirit level - it can do that! Erm...and lots more besides. I have heard that the biggest bugbear with them is that they have a low battery life.


I might consider buying one if it had a magic carpet option tho :)

Oh well if that' really true I might think about getting one but reception in my house is really poor and I don't want to have to pay for a package so I can wish for world peace only to get told "your network is busy" and then cut off. That would be really annoying.


Anyhoo I can't think about it now, I want to listen to Terry Pratchet.

Woo hoo -thanks for the reminder :)


p.s. I do love my (dated) ipod though...so not completely immune to the icult ;-)

Ok


For me as an example, I deliver to my customers,up to 20 on a busy day. Some customers we get from on line email enquiries, some call the office, some text & some leave a message on the answer phone


On my I phone I can read the e-mail & call them, or respond back by e mail back, I can tap the ( on screen ) address they send me by E-mail. Then the "compass app" can locate exactly (within a yard) the house in seconds


So from order to delivery can be within the hour.


I also send an e-receipt as soon as the deal is done, should the client wish to pay by direct transfer I send my bank details, they transfer. I then check my "Nat West ac app" it tells me when ( worst case 2 hours ) the payment is in the account


I forward this to my office as an e mail or note, its then put into our accounts


I get on with the job & now do the admin on the hoof. Clients love it, I love it


I spend an hour or three in the office max a week, I can read word doc's , spread sheets blah blah all on the I phone


When I was in a remote workshop in Iceland I videoed a manufactures process close up, samples ect.

Sent it by e-mail, got a sign off , instigated manufacture . All in an hour.

No way in the past would it be that cost or time efficient, ever.


In short it has liberated & updated me to no end, saved me money. If you have a Mac as I do it ties in nicely, I-cal, I-photo, contacts ect


It's not for everyone, but for me...



Sweet joy



Then there's app (lication) s......ohhhhhh




W**F



Ps. Oh & a quick peek on the EDF, not a problem

*Rebel Rebel how could they know*


I HAVEN'T got an iPhone nor do I want one, I got em one of them there fancy windows smartphones from HTD (the HD2) that promise to do all that the iPhone does (but doesn't have the apps yet) runs multiple applications at once, multi touch screen (it can respond to many different stimili at the same time) and has an amazing view screen for videos...


Now if only the darn thing would send texts it would be perfect

"Now if only the darn thing would send texts it would be perfect"


there might be an app for that. iPhone and blackberry both have whatsApp which is a cross platform IM/SMSy messaging app but the messages are free. Don't know if it's out for HD2 though.

what's the difference, functionally speaking, between iPhone and 'Blackberry'-type devices ?


I am due for an upgrade in March and I guess I should make a calculated decision to minimise regrets, would be handy to be able to send/receive/edit MS documents (though i know the editing would be fiddley).

I got an upgrade back in November and it's one of those touch phones. It's too fiddly and geeky for a luddite like me and it has remained in its box.

All I need from a phone is for the damned thing to work like a normal telephone, be able send text messages, have a good camera and internet access and that's it. I don't need all the other bollocks thanks you very much.

"Do you have a car"


You reply


"No, but I do have a skateboard which has four wheels & goes down hill perfectly well"



Its a rubbish answer you silly boy

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
