Reading the ads for them, they seem to point towards the App store not having FB, and the IOS doesn't facilitate having it ( don't know what that means). Is there a way...

    The Colston Four

    The courts decision to aquit sets an unhealthy precedent. The charge was criminal damage and they were bang to rights. Seen vandalising on tv, admitted to playing a part, yet got off claiming they were protesting against racism. This now gives protestors an open door to break the law. No...

    For over a week now my broadband and phone have been dropping off at least six times daily. I'm currently been supplied by Sky who, up until now, have provided a really decent service. I appreciate that with Covid restrictions, their customer service provision will have had some impact, but...
