Computers for Charities Christmas Shoebox appeal got underway this weekend. Thanks to the continuing generosity of the good folk of Lowhill in Wolverhampton.
Many years back, they turned the tide from Shoeboxes to gift bags.. And this year yet again, The Good Shepherd Church, Lowhill have come up trumps.
The photo dates back to 2007. Sadly many faces have passed on. However if you look closely at the rear right. You get a glimpse of my dear old Pa. 91 on 26th November.
Well done Lowhill people and thank your such longstanding support & Love.

Broadband scandal ! Despite at least 20% of UK homes still lacking direct broadband access by choice or design. Choice is now decided by landline suppliers as they now charge for broadband regardless of personal preference.
Whilst many remote and not so remote locations, including here in Eastbourne suffering intermittent connectivity.
Computers for Charities is an organisation not compelled by computers. But people, hence “Passionate about people” is our by word. Community Pastoral support being just one aspect of CfC’s regular activities.
This weekend when visiting Mrs B a widow and octogenarian, we found her to be totally distraught regarding her latest telephone bill from landline supplier Talk, Talk.
Incredibly her bill had doubled given new additional charges for fibre broadband, despite here ongoing request of not having a need or desire for broadband.
We contacted Talk Talk about this arbitrary decision and Talk Talk handlers confirmed this to be the company’s policy. No we no longer supply Landline only packages and was unable to offer an alternative, and for those on low income, etc.
This is a dire state of affairs.
Just two suppliers provide Landline only packages. BT & Virgin Media but sadly maybe only until 2025, as the industry seeks to transfer all telecoms over to digital.
Reminiscent of 2012 when TV coverage changed from analogue to digital.
What of Mrs B. Put up or shut up basically is the answer. Changing suppliers will cost £70 not of her choosing or see phone bills double.
Sadly Ofcom the UK’s telephone watch dog remain silent on this one and as to Talk Talk, when a gesture of good will was suggested. They declined
Can anyone Help.
Looking for a Teddy Bear restorer to rejuvenate a 1935 Chad Valley Teddy bear… My Mum’s who is now approaching 90…
Teddy is now very worn, stuffing coming out and needing an overhaul. Loved by at least two generations and hopefully passing onto 4th generation great granddaughter Little Daisy!
Any contact information welcome. Plus photo here of one of two brothers (John)..
Yes these Yorkshire folk are long livers
