I'm sure I can, but then it would be New Zealand tablet.  ;D

My tablet tastes of apple ::) :P

Its been bliss , no ringing and today :) I only got 6 calls and nobody left a message. Told my friends to call me on my mobile or leave a message. Will look at these phone so thanks. I suppose I need to turn the ring volume up again, just wanted a few days without having to get up and down all the time, good exercise though.

I have never tried making tablet, everyone that knows me knows that I can't cook. We have a lovely ice-cream shop in a place called Stonehaven . She does ice-cream with tablet in it and then she pours hot toffee sauce all over it and even worse she then fills the tub with sweets, What a nightmare eh  :) :) :) :)

Next time I have one of these tubs I will take a picture.

 I'm betting that shop is Giulianotti's Ice cream Parlour in Stonehaven - am I right?  Wonderful place!

Sounds as if the automated calls that are so numerous lately would be blocked straight away by this system.
I hope you bought your via the SRGC's Amazon link, Art?

I received the info direct from BT and bought direct from them - otherwise of course I would.

If I find anything I want on Amazon, I log into the Forum and buy thro' the link.

Thanks on all counts, Art!  I'm considering those phones myself.

Second Fire for the month (the first was Monday) a few km from our place!
Not a good prospect this early into the summer :(
The worst thing was that the Fire Authority's website showed today's fire was a few hundred metres away from our house :o
But it was actually close to where the last one was - which is still too close for comfort,

When I read this it really it gives me an awful feeling. I do hope everyone will be alright. I can't imagine what folks have gone through in the past watching their beloved homes disappear. I hope there wont be anymore fires and everyone and their homes will be safe.

Angie,
thanks for your concern.
Fortunately the fire-fighters were there pretty quickly and later there was a downpour which hopefully put out any remaining embers.
We're having a brief respite with cooler weather over the weekend so we'll enjoy it while we can,
cheers

I've got a moan to add to everyone else's, why is it when you are trying to back out of a parking space in a supermarket car park other car drivers carry on drive ring past you even though they can clearly see you are trying to get out. It took me ages to get out of Asda in Boston.

Try Waitrose, prices might be a little higher but the customers are more polite ;D

That would mean going all the way into Lincoln to my nearest store, a 68 mile round trip. Also I'm not much of a city person, all those crowds, too much of a country person.

I think it would be a 240 mile round trip for us to visit a Waitrose...... definitely can't afford that!

There are branches there, but I think Stirling would be the nearest....   :-\
