You lot are so modern. Upto 5 years ago i was still using a Nokia 3310. Great phone, lasted ages from a charge. Still on the orginal battery for 10 years. These modern smart phones just dont last long and if you drop it the screen cracks. I only changed to a new phone as i wanted bluetooth. That wa...

Ok, they are not cheap, but they are what I know about, so any of the iPhones after and including the XR with wireless charging will fit and charge without a case in the space provided. I currently have the 14 pro max, and even it fits when you put it with the camera at the top and the screen face u...

Yep, a compressor and a repair kit are key components, even if they can just get you to a location you can wait more comfortable in

Just had a quick trip round Wales last week due to it being great weather, 26/30 degrees all week, too hot in actual fact, but can't really knock it for September, it was warmer than the trip I done to southern Spain last year at the same time of year :lol: 6 Days from Wigan where I live: Day 1 - He...
