Most peoples masks are kept for so long without replacing or washing they are health hazards - and don't mention the ones that get dumped in supermarket trolleys or carparks.

'Most peoples masks are kept for so long without replacing or washing they are health hazards ' so my wife keeps telling me. I must remember to wash mine regularly as everybody should.

Not being funny ,they wouldn't do that would they, isn't there something in the contract that prevents them from doing that ? I used to get a lot on the landline but get some protection from BT ,still get some though. Spam emails are another thing - fake parking fine, fake paypal notice ,fake HMRC email etc . I notify Action Fraud.

Minor gripe; I just read an article on yet another freeview retune for nov 4th, it only seems like a couple of weeks since I last did this. Apparently there was one a couple of days ago too.
So the reason for the retune is to renumber some channels. Offcom has regulated that all public service channels should be in the first 24 channels. This includes BBC4 which in the Scottish regions is channel 55. So after the retune it becomes channel 24. So still out of step with everyone else.
I would think that offcom had more serious matters to worry about.

I'd be happy if the BBC could manage to put the local news in HD so I don't have to change channels halfway through the news or suffer the steel band/swimmers/wheelchair basketball team sounds until the remote is located.

How can ITV manage this but the BBC can't?

I may need to get out more
