Quote from: Alex on October 18, 2026, 03:13:54 PM"The BBC News channel is now available to stream live on YouTube in both the UK and USA, marking a significant step in expanding access to trusted, impartial journalism in more places people use every day.

The trial, which started on Thursday 15 October, offers viewers comprehensive coverage of international and domestic news, major political developments, business, technology, culture and breaking events, supported by BBC News' global network of journalists and correspondents"

I wonder if there's a connection with our "possible" need to pay extra for Netflix, Prime and You Tube,  I mean why would the BBC set up a You Tube channel ?
Interesting.  Is it possible to view this channel without any payment?

Actually, although Marge pays the BBC Tax (TV licence), I don't usually watch the BBC, unless she finds a particularly good film.  I certainly don't watch BBC News as I believe it is heavily biased.  A much better alternative is GB News, and I make a (small) regular payment to them.

Thanks Alex.   Good idea.
I just had a look at Halford's website,  and they have them,  £7.99.   
I will go and have a look next time I am in town,  then I can ask someone there if they will fit my car's visors.

Glad that's all over for you Mups, onwards and upwards hopefully.
It's really sunny here today still a bit cold though.  I've got pulled pork in the slow cooker, should be ready by 6pm.
For some reason I turned the clocks back last night  :grin:  :grin:  :grin:  I must have read it somewhere, thankfully I only did the bedroom clocks !

I get problems with it in some hand joints. Worse some days than others, I imagine getting it in big joints is a much bigger problem. There are two sorts and I think there are treatments for rheumatoid arthritis but osteoarthritis is just wear and tear. Same fix as for car engines - replace the worn bits.

Thanks Klondie.   At least it might give the tendons time to mend anyway.   
No more dragging bags of compost down the garden for a while anyway.


Instead of these obscenely wealthy Americans playing with their latest rockets,  why don't they do something useful and find a cure for Arthritis!    :rolleyes:
