Just in time for the holidays, some joyful news—the UK government has announced plans to end the use of pig farrowing crates in England, part of a long list of animal welfare reforms announced this week. Thank you for speaking up for mother pigs. The Animal Welfare Strategy states, “Ending the use of cages and crates is a key priority for this government”, which shows that with your support, we are making vital progress. Our evidence has proven that farrowing crates, which confine mother pigs so tightly they can’t turn around for five weeks when they give birth, are horrendously cruel. And with your help, we’ve shown politicians that the British public wants compassion to lead animal policy. Please keep speaking up for pigs! In the new year, the government will launch a consultation on the transition away from farrowing crates, and we’ll need your voice to ensure that crates are gone for good and not replaced with a new type of cage. If you haven’t already, please add your name to our petition calling for a full ban on farrowing crates across all of the UK. -

Amazon QR code scams Scammers are sending cards through the post which claim to be from Amazon and include dodgy QR codes. When scanned with your phone or tablet, these QR codes (the 2D barcode images made up of black and white squares) lead to dodgy websites that aim to steal your personal information. The fake postcards claim to offer freebies through Amazon's 'Early Reviewer Program', which actually ended in 2021. Find out what they look like so you can spot one if it's posted through your door. Watch out for these postcards -

I have no display for the smart meter they turned on remotely without informing me a couple of years ago. Nor do I have an app. 'I understand that you'd like a display to track your usage. Unfortunately, not all working smart meters of the first generation are currently eligible for exchange. However, we could switch your S1 meters to half-hourly readings, so at least you'd be able to see more accurate usage on the app. Would that be an option for you?' -

Not being high finance-savvy, I thought one could give £3,000 pa to each person, just read that's the total between all. It has to come from earned income and not from savings - though I don't know how they could know the difference? Maybe I am misreading but worth a read if anyone is as unaware as I am. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/hmrc-considering-rule-change-for-uk-households-who-gift-family-members-money/ar-AA1Lja6A?ocid=socialshare -

I've always understood that potatoes should be kept in a cool dark place, but not in the fridge. I only buy the small bags of baby/salad potatoes and always put them in a brown paper bag in the cupboard. Latest bag from the Co-op states ' Store in the fridge at 2-5c. to keep fresh for weeks longer'. I'm confused. -

A good achievement A popular Indian restaurant in West Wickham has been recognised at Parliament as one of the UK’s top Asian restaurants. iNaga in West Wickham was recently recognised by the prestigious Asian Catering Federation, being awarded a Certificate of Excellence and named one of the Top 100 Asian Restaurants in the UK for 2025 at an awards ceremony that took place at the Houses of Parliament last Thursday (July 17). -

Every so often, desktop states you are not connected to internet and Troubleshoot says could be Ethernet cable. Has happened several times over the last few months but have jiggled around with the cables at the back of the desktop and switched off and it has been OK. To cut a long boring story short, I bought an Ethernet cable for the next time it happened, which it did yesterday. This time just wouldn't work so this morning I decided to instal the new cable. Firstly, none of the slots behind were the same size as the cables currently connected, then finally found a slot that fitted the new cable, plugged the other end into the router and it seems to be working. (Albeit that I have to make sure the door doesn't shut and slice the cable, as the router is in the hall). Question is - assuming this continues to work - there has obviously not been an Ethernet cable connected before so why should it suddenly require one after 3/4 years? I am totally not computer savvy and these 'little' computer problems literally take me hours to work and carry out. Apologies. -
