  I am 56yo and not in any 'high risk' category. To my surprise. I received a text message from my doctors surgery yesterday at 14:00 inviting me to book for the Covid vaccination. It gave me a link to an NHS site where I booked my vaccination. I made an appointment for this morning, 08:30. It all...

2. Coronavirus Lockdown Chat
  
  On a slightly lighter note, I managed to visit my dad in his care home yesterday. I haven't seen him 'in-person' since March. We have tried to FaceTime over the months, but it just gets him frustrated as he has vascular dementia. It was a pure delight to see him and chat, even if it was...

  Yes, my phone is a BT8500. But in our case, we are receiving calls from clinics/hospital and they are withholding their numbers.

  Me neither, but I had to switch off the call blocking feature to enable calls from healthcare professionals to get through. If anyone knows a way to use it to block unknown numbers, or at least numbers not in its directory, but let ‘withheld’ numbers through, I would be grateful if they could...

  I do have a brand new, unused, trueCall standalone unit. I purchased it for my parents specifically so they could keep the familiar landline telephone instrument. In the end events took over and it never happened. I could have used it myself, but prefer the combined mobile/answerphone/blocker.

  I cannot really understand the government’s hypocrisy in ‘throwing’ Huawei out of the UK’s 5G network because of the perceived security threat, yet use Tik-Tok for their socially distanced parliamentary meetings.
