Hastings Forum

Yes, I have spotted one or two wearing masks going around Hastings. I think some people get stuck in a tramline and find it a challenge to think differently! No direct connection between Covid and the forum of course, but I just wonder if people's attitudes have changed a bit, if they have become mo...

I haven't been active on the forum for a while - I think Covid upset a lot of people's habits and I have been equally guilty. There seem to be a lot of important issues to worry about (will the last person to leave this unhappy country please turn out the lights?!). Sorry, corny joke. A number of pe...

Still there, with some new padlocks added! Only in this offbeat town could people do something so quirky!

Thanks for that. Problems arising from Windows updates seem to be common - I know a couple of people, both very good with IT, who spent days sorting out the disruption and mess. Someone told me that often the updates have flaws etc. which mean they fit badly with older computers - so then, another l...

The only way is to ignore them. It's a bit like the scams on Facebook etc. - the Post Office must know that most of the "offers " and "prize draws" passing through their hands are bogus but it all makes money for the Post Office, so they don't operate any filters. Although most o...

Just a footnote to what I said before. I am not that keen on buying everything online especially clothes - I am an oldfashioned shopper who likes to wander around a lively highstreet on a nice afternoon, look at clothes, feel the texture etc. .. Apart from the ethics of many home-delivery vans clogg...

Hi Prunesquallor (magnificent name .. were you christened as such?!), I would have replied to your post, but for some reason I haven't been getting notifications from the website. I will have to check my settings. It makes me a little angry that M&S have such indifference to the wants of the pub...

Hi Jan, I find people always interesting ... and unexpected! I wonder what prompted you to post that cheery message onto the forum? Chat on! Show more about yourself ... don't be shy, we are all doctors here! Seriously though, it's gratifying that suddenly in the last few weeks people seem to have w...
