    Emails blocked..

    Yes, but i have not cancelled anything. They have just suddenly blocked my email. I know that lots of people seem to like several email addresses, one for friends and so on, but that would be my worst nightmare. I just want to open my email and there they all are. There will only be about 5 a...

    Emails blocked..

    Thank you all for being so helpful. Can anyone explain what the heck this means?? They are saying that you can "DEFINITELY" still use your virgin "mailbox" but that you will have to access it through Gmail say. What on earth do they mean by that. ?? Is that not like royal mail saying we will...

    Emails blocked..

    One email address would be all i want. I am not remotely interested in all this modern crap and cannot see why anyone would want more than one. Is that not like having several different house numbers on the front of your house?? Why would you want that?? I just want to be able to tell ******...

    Emails blocked..

    What does that mean and how would i do it?? Problem i have is that nearly all my emails are to and from the NHS. Needless to say, their systems are next to paranoid and will block anything they do not like and you have NO CHANCE of contacting anyone to sort it for you.. I do not want that toi...

    Emails blocked..

    I think i understand... I looked at the idea of the Gmail thing on thunderbird but it said somethingh about thunderbird sort of makes itself look like gmail [not that i have ever looked] with irrelevant [to me] folder names like this..

    Emails blocked..

    Hi all, Given that Virgin have started randomly blocking email accounts without any warning [ask me how i know] what are you all using for emails??

    You are "legally" allowed to do whatever you like.. Whether this is a good idea, is another matter entirely. john.

    BG doesn’t need a switch fuse?

    You DO NOT have to have any installation at all to have the meter put in. Just install the switchfuse and nothing else and they HAVE to connect to it. No choice, ofgen makes this clear.. Information for Meter Operators v1.0 Page 5 of 14 3.6 Testing of customer electrical installations prior to...

    Building Control

    My Advice? You should have just done it. in the real world nobody will give a crap. The people next door to me built an extension. they DID have structural calcs, but then installed the beams the wrong way round. They did NOT have building regs approval, sold the house without a problem, and...

    How Do You put Your Materials Through Company

    If your or I did it, the HMRC would say that it was a "novel" scheme to avoid tax and we would be in BIG trouble.. If however, we were the prime minister or one of the cabinet, there would be no problems at all.. john..
