I watched a documentary about the Spanish Flu. More American soldiers died of the Spanish Flu than in WW1, WW2 and several other wars put together. If it was shown on TV and was compulsory viewing I am sure a lot of people would have a different opinion

I was worried about this and looked at the gov site and they say that the extension will show 7 days before the expiry date. So don't panic! But it does seem to be a bit late, I would like to see the change online now.

None of us really know for certain how JustGiving's finances work, but most of the amounts were £10 - £20. But the bottom line is that it is still money raised for a good cause

The £475,000 figure is the quoted 1.95% card charge. Deduct from this the normal card companies 1.5% and that leaves £125,000 for justGiving. Deduct from this their £100,000 donation and that leaves them £25,000 plus the 20p per transaction. Not so much money then. Still a lot but a fraction of...

I saw this as well. The other side is that without them how would this money of been raised. I am sure most would not of given just to an individual account. Also I am certain that this is way more than JustGiving ever believed would be raised, the original target was £1,000. Most people using...

It has its own aerials which work fine. The advantage over tethering is that you have not used your own phone and probably picks up a better signal

I use a modem router by TP-Link with a sim card. I have had no problems with it and a lot cheaper. The wife streams films without buffering problems using a sim from Smarty. They work on the Three network and costs £20 a month for unlimited data. I pay monthly through Paypal so easy to cancel as...

It was by a company called Nabru and was 171cms. The space we had was 173 cms so was perfect. Just google them. It comes on a pallet on the day you want and is call put together without tools. If you need any new parts they are all available. Took me ages to find something that would look part...

He was a joker so to die on 1st April in a way was appropriate. Just such a shame that at this time there are so many restrictions that will prevent any final gathering for him.

Joy and I remember Pete from the meet at Bagwell in 2012 and the last meet at Oswestry. RIP mate

After much searching have at long last replaced the sofa with a new one. The old sofa was dirty, springs broken and never used as a bed. We search everywhere for something that would fit the space and found this by Nabru. It comes on a pallet in bits and is easy to put together. Cost was £376...

What is good about this site is that here we are discussing the "opposition" and it is not a problem. Just shows how confident Jim is in having the best

I was looking at this but thought having to pay before looking was a bit much. However I found a backdoor way in and at the time there seemed very few members or posts, but then everything has to start somewhere. I wish them luck but will be sticking with RVOC as it has helped me so much over...

As a very rough idea what sort of money should I be looking at. I like the idea of built to measure as I think a off the shelf sofa is going to always look like that unless I am very lucky

The wife has decided that it is time to replace the sofa. The springs are broken and the fabric is knackered so SWMBO has spoken. I have considered rebuilding it but it is not an option as we are full-time and staying put in the next few months due to work. Has anyone replaced their's with a...
