Farce boek, whotsapp: Why, why not?

My gardening chums have invited me to join a w.a. group but I baulked at the log in, I am invited to allow wa access to my address book etc etc. Is there a way to get round this? Does anyone avoid fb/wa like the plague? Does anyone use them without qualms? What are the alternatives?

I deliberately spelled the names so in the hope of avoiding the data-gathering oktopis

Re: Neverspoons App

Really, making ones own food ticks all the boxes: cheaper, quicker, what one wants, when one wants. There might be some germs, but they are MY germs :wink:

I understand there are interesting rules about hygiene inspections, times and dates are agreed beforehand, there are very few inspectors, results may not be freely available

Very confused, drinking/eating at spoons has been described as expensive and cheap, which is The Truth?

Never spent cash there, I have been dry for 31 years :wink:

Re: £3.5k Cycle2Work Halfords voucher to spend

May one spend it on several cycles? 3.5k for one machine seems a lot
