    According to the internet, all the big supermarkets as well as the likes of The Range and Wilko stock Fairy Liquid Platinum washing up liquid. I expect there are supply problems at present.

    I can buy a wee cheap phone for about £12 and I've ordered a new sim card for £1.50. Crisis averted.

    There was a Microsoft update that stopped mine working . Maybe they sorted it but I don't print stuff anymore anyway so I don't know. There's some issue that involves spooling whatever that is but I couldn't be arsed to sort it

    I can't get my printer to print an email . I'm using Chrome as my browser on a very old desktop - is that why? 
    Can you right click and copy, put it in your files and print from there.

    Well if that doesn’t tell any supporters he has left exactly what sort of man he is, then they’re just the sort of people I always knew they were  ….

  • On our first night in Majorca one year our mobile dropped into a bowl of hot custard. My OH was livid but restrained, our 2 daughters were there. He rushed it back to our apartment while we finished eating. When we returned he had taken it apart and washed it and was drying it with the hairdryer. Next day it worked.

    Mine was in the machine for over an hour and was subjected to a 1,200 rpm final spin. 
    I'm not optimistic

    You might be able to rescue the sim card.

    I once washed a credit card. Didn’t realise I’d done it until I saw it rattling around in the tumble dryer. Looked fine, but when I tried to pick it up, it just stretched like a melted slice of cheese. 
    I have a dirt cheap, non smart, phone, as I only use it to make calls and send texts. Wise thing to do would be to make a separate list somewhere of all the numbers stored on it. When my old phone packed up suddenly, I had no way of retrieving the numbers on it, some of which were lost for good.

    Mike Barton's 'cause celebre'. That frustrates me even more. Did the police need a cause celebre when they issued fines to members of the general public for breaking Coivid law? Is that how it now works? - there has to be a public outcry before the police work on evidence of wrong doing that's presented to them (and it's the police's role to collect evidence anyway)? I know there's a line between wasting police time and the police doing there job, but surely it can't be seen that the police turned a blind eye to the evidence being presented by the media, when presumably, the police acted on phone calls from the public saying a party was in progress at other times. People were fined £10k for organising group events.
