I feel like a newcomer, I only joined in 2008, but happy birthday from me and thanks to Tristan and Sarah.
How the world has changed, I had dialup internet with 15 hours a month, it took 10 mins to download a black and white photo :)

Technical Help / Re: Updating satnav maps

 I should have added that if you go and buy a new one it may have been in stock for years packed in its little box and be hopelessly out of date.

Just looked at the tomtom classic £99 at halfo..s, it seems in can connect directly to your Wi-Fi without any sort of intermediate device.
Just follow the instuctions on the screen,it says.

The fun bit is getting it connected to your Wi-Fi, can you remember the passwords for your Wi-Fi.


Having said that there are so few new roads being built in the Uk that I have not updated mine for ages.

I’m sure others will have helpfull ideas as well

The Common Room / Re: Inheritance query - advice please
« on: Sunday 17 December 23 16:08 GMT (UK)  »
Ok, unmarried, no children so the order is parents first, siblings of the full blood next, with the specific  statement Children of a pre deceased sibling inherit their late parents share.

I’d better be right as that is how I applied it.

To my mind, as the guarantor of payment of the bond it is his status in society rather than his occupation that is needed.

Like getting your passport photo certified, by a magistrate, law enforcement officer, minister in holy orders, etc.

England / Re: 20th century will question

I think it possible she had disposed most of her assets amongst her children in a tax efficient way before her death. Inheritance tax was punitive in 1955.

Added, or her late husband had done so, leaving her with an annual income, with the
capital to go to the kids after her death.

The Stay Safe Board / Re: Diary summary week ending 10th December

I understood Viktoria

Didn't find out till this morning our grandaughter got home   after 11pm, was in Sheffield at 2 ish, don't know how she furthered her journey but thank goodness she is home,  no doubt I will  hear about it at sometime

Thank you all for help and kind words I do appreciate it and it is someone else to share with.

On to this week's diary now

This may be of some consolation.
If she had a ticket from hull to London she should claim delay replay for that ticket, as the delay was
more than an hour she should get a full refund. Claim from the train operator she commenced her journey with.

Any tickets she bought but did not use she should claim refund from the retailer of that ticket.

Incidentally, in the event of this disruption, caused I think by a piece of roofing felt from a garden shed being blown on to the overhead cables, the original hull to London ticket should have been accepted by any train operating company on any reasonable alternative travel to London.
