Between June 2019 & December 2020, i bought five laptops, I paid between £32 & £61 , total price for the five =£206 ( Average £41 per laptop)
They had all been upgraded before i got them, bar one which i upgraded myself.
All worked well from the moment i got them.
You dont have to pay a lot for laptops, if you know where to look, and are prepared to not have the latest models

You got through 5 laptops in 18 months but they 'worked well'?

Wouldn't be surprised if they even lose the 80 seat majority. They've pretty much effed up everything decision wise in the last 10 months as Bojo doesn't want to do bad news.

Waiting (hope it doesn't) for the vaccination programme to go tits up. At least it's run by the NHS and the Army and not one of Bojo and his cronies mates whom we've bunged a few quid to set up.

I think you will all agree what a great job the tories are doing in looking after the people. I look forwards to you all posting a positive in that respect.

Thor wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 7:49 am So the magic pill being sold to the public is questionable. Israel has questioned its effictiness as cases and hospitalizations are not falling.

Israel is currently leading the global vaccination drive, with nearly 39 per cent of its citizens having had at least a single dose of a jab so far.

However, infection and death rates, as well as the numbers of people in hospital, have shown little sign of falling.

Latest figures show a further 7,027 tested positive for the virus on Thursday, with 64 new deaths from the disease. Out of 82,930 active cases, 1,918 are hospitalized. Last week, the hospitalisation figure was just over 1,000.

Addressing the apparent failure of the jab regime in cutting infection rates, Israel's top coronavirus medic said on Wednesday that the Pfizer vaccine was less effective than expected.

Real-world data from Israel's world-beating rollout showed the first dose led to a 33 per cent reduction in cases of coronavirus between 14 and 21 days afterwards in people who got the jab.

The figure is lower than the British regulator's estimate, which said it may prevent 89 per cent of recipients from getting Covid-19 symptoms.

But Sir Patrick, the UK's chief scientific adviser, told the Downing Street press conference on Friday that the Israeli data was 'very preliminary'.

Thor wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 10:06 pm Hancock is caught on film telling the travel industry that the South African strain will make the covid jabs 50% less effective. He also went on to say if it takes hold in this country the. We will be back to square one. He also said he would not say this in public however, someone was videoing the conference / zoom call.

Oh dear.
