    I've only just learnt that the Post Office has stopped Saturday deliveries:doh:, pleading the Corona Virus as the reason for the National decision........I wonder how long it will take for them to consider to restart a 6 day delivery:dunno::scratch:

        Wifi has gone down - now running the whole network off an old mobile 'phone with the hotspot turned on. It does work surprisingly well.

        Should be getting a 'proper' 4g router delivered this Tuesday - with up to 64 simultaneous connections :thumbsup:. That's what it's all about.

          I can remember Dial up with that funny buzzing sound and waiting ages for something to load.

              We've had eight micro power cuts in the last five days! :mad: They're only micro (my terminology) as the power goes for less than a second. Lights flicker, TV goes off and comes on again, computer reboots itself and then starts moaning that the router isn't working, the router takes up to 10 minutes to get going again and the phones go down ask me to confirm that there has been a power cut. It has kicked me out of two Zoom meetings and ruined an online bridge game :doh:

              I shall have a polite conversation with UK Power Networks.

                There have never been Saturday deliveries here that I know of ... well, maybe there is in the cities.

                Our Apartado (PO Box) is located physically within our Freguesia (local Parish) office so when they are closed we have no access to our box. There are probably 200 boxes in their own cubby space. This can be a nuisance when you are not paying attention that it is a local holiday and you go to collect your post and it is closed ... having made a 7km journey to get there!

                  We are only having one delivery a week now, we get a huge bundle delivered at the start of each week.

                      Good evening we still have two deliveries a day but the second delivery is the same postman returning to deliver the first letters he missed and to correct all the wrong deliveries he made on the first delivery:heehee:

                          I suppose we're lucky being in a village environment with our postman also living in the village. He knows all the residents so he has never made a mistake with the deliveries.
