It could be a specific build of Android, perhaps impacting only one specific handset vendor, but Google offers developers the ability to test apps across multiple devices and only the most advanced apps should be at any sort of risk. Unless the handset is really, really old then I can't see it...

I think now Vodafone has bought out Three's share, it will revert to Vodafone in time. VodafoneThree is not the public-facing brand though is it? Vodafone and Three still have their unique brands and marketing - for now. When Everything Everywhere was formed (now just EE), Orange and T-Mobile...

If you put your foot down hard, even an EV isn't going to be whisper quiet. The artificial sound goes off around 30mph, or perhaps a bit less, but by then the tyres are making enough noise for you to hear. A very refined, large, petrol engine can be virtually silent at low speeds too. Of...

Best solution is to give people a choice when they sign up, with proper reminders if you opt-in to give you time to reconsider and - as suggested by someone else - a cooling off period so if you do get a subscription renewed, you can cancel within 7-14 days (albeit having to pay pro rata for the...

I had my car insurance company email me to say they'd cancelled the auto renew and I don't recall them saying why. Auto renew was an option I was able to toggle on my online account, but perhaps they'd auto selected it and were made to cancel it without me having first set it. It very nearly...

Agreed, but there will be some side effects. If the number of accidental renewals drop, or the people who join a gym and stop going after a month can cancel easily, the loss of income will have an impact. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not suddenly going against what I said above or not agreeing...

I suppose a cooling off period after a renewal would be good too.

I think you should be given the option. If there's a subscription you want to keep (for example, a home security application or something) then let it renew. Likewise, if you're happy with Amazon Prime and use it all the time, let it renew BUT only if you ask it to. There should be an opt-out...

I doubt any wannabe protestors/patriots cared once you mentioned white British man. They don't care about the victims at all. If they did, they'd step in whoever the perpetrator was - but they only take interest if it fits their view and they can benefit from it.

I'm sorry, but things like this are actually very important. My mum got renewed into an annual subscription she didn't want and once renewed could not cancel (well, she could but they wouldn't refund - they just said the account would close after the year). I also forgot to put a note in my...

I've never owned an ICE car that got the mpg advertised (at least not long term) and for years everyone talked about how ridiculous the mpg figures were because they weren't based on real-world conditions. But now we have to somehow believe that EVs never achieve their advertised range (mostly...

And vouchers handed to you at the till for a discount at something like Homebase. They got paid to give these out and would put them through the till and on your receipt, but most of the time they didn't actually give you the voucher. People didn't want them and I'm stunned companies paid WH...

Roadside signs could show prices and availability for relatively low cost, but even just a fixed sign saying how many bays and perhaps speed could help. I usually plan a public charge but if myself or another occupant said they needed the toilet or were hungry etc, I could see a sign for...

At the very least, all buses need screens that are much more secure than it appears that one was. Perhaps another way to immobilise too.

There are new shops opening soon, including Nandos, and where M&S was is being designed to be a restaurant and leisure facility as well as a large store for something like Sports Direct. It is quite busy weekends and pretty packed when the craft market is on - but it still closes at 1730 and has...

While they stated they needed to close 1 in 4 to keep going, going against their original promises made when they took over, I suspect they'll not stop at that. I clearly haven't visited every location, but can't imagine there are many high street stores that are busy enough to make money. Some...

Correct and people are told to travel beyond their station and return in the other direction to complete their journey.

Power issues between WGC and Wood Green this morning with lots of cancelled services as a result.

The TG Jones in Welwyn Garden City, still with what appears to be the same carpet from day one, is now closing down. It was always going to happen given how empty it (customers, staff and shelves) and I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Our Shell is replacing the chargers too, so I expect they're the same. The four they had before (one per bay) had all sorts of issues going by the red lights or being coned off. I think one of them was taped over and coned off for about a year. I thought they had to have a certain level of...
