This is a huge fire, very sad to see all this destruction. Hope they are insured, I know its not what they would have wanted but let's hope they can at least rebuild it and get something back.

Following on from the television saga some time ago I spoke to my internet provider Plusnet and after much discussion the very pleasant man said I needed  an ethernet cable because I was reaching the speed I was paying for which is top wack.

Anyway bought cable and fixed said same and streaming was ok for about 75% of the time until of course last Monday which apart from Amazon was a total no no.

After much checking on the internet it was suggested that a USB Powered Compact Signal Booster 4G might do the trick. I bought a SLX from Amazon for just over £13.00 and I am very pleased to say that it seems to do the trick.

Hope this bit of info assists somebody else in a similar predicament.   Wised up guys and gals might know all about these little devices but I did not so can only assume not everybody does.

I was going to say we never had this problem with our black and white tv but we did because on very windy blustery days somebody would have to go out and fiddle around with the aerial and keep coming back in to see if it was better!

Well done Denise, more switched on with this techie stuff than me.

I saw this going up when I went on my one trip of the week!

Somebody please tell me it is sheer coincidence that since then I have had terrible trouble with my television signals - the only thing I can watch is Amazon and even that gets some interference.  I know that 4G does cause signal problems but I am Kingstone and that is Belmont

Sad old git that I am but I love my television!!!!!!!!!!

 

It is not even connected yet, I was talking with one of the engineers earlier, they are still connecting cables, not live until all complete. 

I hope they catch the scumbags who stole this bike 😡

More sad news for people, hope that a buyer is found and at least some jobs can be saved.

Yes please it looks delicious 

Well done 

Pleased to hear nobody was hurt, someone lost control of the vehicle and themselves perhaps, I hope that they catch the driver, he left the scene in a hurry for some reason, drink or drug drink maybe 

We hired the mall the time in the US a few years ago, I think they were Lyft or possibly even Uber scooters, but really good fun and nippy. They are definitely the future and cheaper than a taxi, less effort than a bike and more convenient than the bus in my opinion. The UK is way behind the rest of the world, so it is good to see the gov fast tracking these for trials this year.

This is a nice tribute to the SAS and the 75th VE Day anniversary 

This has been the worst economic issue in my lifetime, I think it will take years to get over this to be honest.

I will be banging them pans 

This is perfect for families. I'm sure this will be most welcomed during these difficult times.

That is brilliant 

This is indeed a very powerful illustration, well done to the original artist

This work is essential and needs to be done. Nature is very destructive! 

The weather since the new year has been horrendous 

They have been ripping us off for years and good people like Martin Lewis have helped us all save £££'s. I usually buy own branded paracetamol its only 30p in Tesco, same ingredients as the more expensive brands.

Excellent news 

These wood type buildings usually look great for about 5 -7 years then they can look really old

Will they won’t they lay the tarmac down for the new bypass?

if indeed it does get binned it still does not get away from the fact that Hereford needs at lest one new river crossing either east or west or both.

I’m not sure if this idea has been mooted before?

But as an alternative river crossing point on the west side if the western bypass is rejected? I believe that it would be possible to put a bridge with weight limits on & cycle lanes from the bottom of Beattie avenue To link up with Wordsworth road? 
 

a number of benefits would be a direct road link with Whitecross & Belmont the road would be a lot shorter in distance saving on cost compared to the western bypass...less loss of good agricultural land very few if any trees would have to be felled...so in all compared to the western bypass the detrimental impact to the landscape would far less.

 

 

 

This would be okay for cyclists with a weight limit but we still desperately need a vehicle river crossing able to take HGV's etc

Just turn them off

That is a wicked photo. its difficult to take photographs of fast moving subjects especially at night, this is a lovely photograph.

Happy new year to you all

This is really interesting, it’s nice to be reminded about the city’s history, enjoyed the reading thank you
