    My problem is that I switched to a Sonus distributed system about 3 years or so ago so that I could hear Radio 4 around the house without having to have multiple transistor radios tuned in to Radio 4. Now the radio 4 signal via the cable system has gone to pot ie considerable worse than the...

    Lawn dilemma

    I rent a Husqvarna automatic lawnmower. It is excellent, keeps the grass short and neat and the finished texture is very acceptable. The device goes out for several hours every 2 or 3 days. No bits to pick up. On a cost basis it is very compettitive with employing a human to guide round a...

    Adobe Lightroom on two devices

    I edit on the laptop when travelliing and the desktop when at home. I became quite adept at copying the catalog from the laptop to the desktop. However I would not do that now, i would do light touch editing on the laptop and then do the full edit once the files had been transferred to the desktop.

    Advice for next camera please?

    As you have some experience and investment in the Olympus range go and explore the range further. There is a very good forum that has an active trading section where you can trade up and bypass the cost of swapping systems. The forum is a very useful source of information...

    FTTP broadband - what speed do you really need?

    I was with Plusnet using an FTTC connection. Problem was all the twisted wire connections in the connection to the cabinet from the home. Signicant ooutages when Openreach chaps messed around with the cable between the house and the cabinet. The faults had to be reported to Plusnet who then had...

    Which Freeview box with recording capabilities

    If you are keeping internet then use the online services as your repositary of transmitted programs. Our use of the Sky record facility has dropped dramatically since we got a cable connection to the internet. Checkout the iPlayer, All4, Itv Hub etc to see the range of accessible programs.

    Heathrow or Gatwick or Stanstead?

    I got my fill of LHR and GTW on trips to the US etc. However one of my more unusual trips were a visit to LHR taking an Assistance dog (Endal) from his home to LHR for his first trip in a plane. This was a big event, the first trip for assistance dogs, I was driving the charities van along with...
