Has anyone any advice about buying shares for my 2 yr old grandson. We have saved about £5,000 in a regular saver but the interest is pitiful after the first year. Thought of a tracker, but it...
My kettle element has failed (again). The old one was a jug. If it was filled near the mark it spluttered and spilled water when boiling. I want one that is easy to fill through the spout, not having...
Our central heating has been condemned because of a botched job on the flue (22 years ago and someone's just noticed!) Should we have the thermostatic radiator valves replaced at the same time? Are...

Will it harm my apple trees to prune when there is a frost, or forecast of frost. I find that I see what needs doing when I'm picking the apples, and do some of it then. The books say do it after the...
Ceefax used to have details of events likely to cause traffic delays. I have searched the BBC website traffic pages for something similar but can't find it. Where is the best place to look for future...

I've never had one. I'm an old fuddy duddy who never uses her mobile phone a doesn't know or wish to know about bluetooth. And I can't read my car clock while I'm wearing my driving glasses, so I need...
Our baby grandson often visits, and in a while he will be crawling. The cat is a hunter, does this mean we should worm him more regularly? Up to now we've wormed when we see a tapeworm segment or when...
Our grandson spends time at our house so I'm looking for a sensible routine for worming the cat. The baby is not crawling yet, I imagine it will be more important then. The RSPCA site doesn't give a...
