I am under the impression that in many households the use of a computer is the prerogative of the male and women tend to shy away and let them get on with it. Why is this and shouldn't women be...
I've been looking at my telephone account on line and have an ordinary BT phone line and account (also Orange broadband). In particular I have looked at recent 0845 numbers which I have apparently...
I occasionally buy groceries on line for home delivery. Recently I had a packet of cornflakes much bigger than I had intended and decided to use some for bird food. The birds won't even look at it. I...
There are lots of telephone service advertisements and pictures for so-called 'some hubs' these days. They look a bit complicated to me. How does one use them and what do they achieve that can't be...
I've heard that China has a 'one child only' policy. Does anyone know what this means and how it works? Perhaps the state only supports one child. It's difficult to imagine how it could mean anything...
With this country and others in dire financial straits, with spending cuts and unemployment, what do workers expect or hope to achieve by going on strike? If money's not there - it's not there. It's...
Must admit I'm wary of internet banking and don't know much about it. My question is a simple one. If I want to pay a bill on line, or send money to an individual, what do I need to know about that...
Dear Ed If it is practicable might you please extend the list on the right hand side of the page showing Latest Posts? That list changes frequently and it's very easy to miss out on recent interesting...
I've done most of my paperwork by computer for a good many years, and now find I can't make a decent job of writing by hand - even addressing an envelope looks a mess. It seems my hand doesn't keep up...
I listened to a discussion recently about how important various activities were in people's lives and there were comments about many sports, travel, social events and such like. These things were...
I often play music, mostly MIDI files, on my PC using Windows Media Player and occasionally upload to parts of my website. Frequently I find that the volume control has shut itself down. It's easy...
I've seen searching the lyrics of 'Land of My Fathers' but would like to find a version I learnt at school, admittedly many years ago. It began with "Land of My Fathers the land of the free, the...
I try to send myself an email with a photo from my mobile in the hope of bringing the picture onto my PC screen. The email arrives but not the picture. Outlook Express tells me it has removed an...
Do you have an electric kettle with one of those metal gauze inserts near the spout? Perhaps you already know this, but I pass it on for what it's worth. I attended a talk by a member of the fire...
What a hoo-haa about the millions of people who have either underpaid or overpaid income tax. Where does the fault lie and can anyone suggest a better system? It's quite a nightmare trying to complete...
If you had to choose between a TV or a personal computer - and could only have one or the other - which would you choose and why? I would miss my computer much more than the TV. It provides...
My Orange email is 'up the creek' again 26.08.10. I'm paying nearly £20 a month for Orange broadband, but can't send emails (Outlook Express) or access the Orange webmail site to send them from...
I have a CanoScan N124OU, a light weight flatbed scanner. It was working a few weeks ago when it was first installed, but now something seems to be wrong that I cannot identify. Whenever I click to...
The so-called 'gender pay gap' is frequently in the news. Do you agree that there should be equal pay for equal work or for work of equal value? I have heard it argued that when an employer takes on...
