Well we changed over to BT in Feb 2015 when Virginmedia abandoned us as not on fibre. Up until a few weeks ago all was well then we started getting short service drop outs in the afternoon, initially put this down to congestion. On Saturday connection slowed down considerably, the BT broadband speed test could not complete test as broadband too slow. 3rd party speed check gave d/l of 0.25 mbps and u/l of 0.45 mbps. Spent an hour on BT chat with Abishek lon Sunday and no faults found on router or wiring, he said would reset line and system and all would be back to normal within 24 hours. Today no change, so spent another hour with another Indian person on BT chat same checks no result, engineer booked for Thursday as same d/l and u/l speeds. Nothing has been changed on wiring etc for 10 years. So Although we can do limited browsing and email cannot use Skygo, Iplayer etc Ray & Carole

Hope I get one this time, sold out in all 3 local stores last time Ray

from us too Ray & Carole

Q thats an interesting thing to try, will give it a go John, Carole has been on about getting on of these for ages, might have to bite the bullet Ray

Its a shame really, we have three proper butchers in town all selling a variety of different sausages and yet we find they all cook very hard and dry from all three butchers. Maybe I need to fry them in beef dripping Ray & Carole

Could be right John, government nanny state trying to keep us healthy and ruining our lifestyle,the black pudding was OK though Ray & Carole

Well we have always been staunch supporters of the local butcheries for our meat and meat products however recently we have noticed that the sausages supplied by all our local butchers have always turned out to be hard and dry after cooking. we are not cooking them any different to what we have always done, but regret to say the supermarket premium offerings cooked the same way always come out moist and juicy What has changed with the butchers ? Ray & Carole

No worries Baz Ray & Carole

Good grief I remember in my youth dry docking in Hamburg, nights at the Zillertal, roaming the Reeperbhan, bockwurst mayo and chips after being chucked out of the bars at about 2 AM and negotiating the tunnel under the Elbe to get back to ship in time to start work at 08:00 hrs, maybe should move Tangara to Hamburg dont tell Carole Ray

As suggested tried using Chrome this morning on Ipad but cams still dropping out. Desktop PC still OK very strange Ray
