Martin Lewis has sent out a reminder about the 159 telephone service.
Dialing 159 in the UK connects you directly and securely to your bank if you've received a suspicious call about your finances. This number is used to break the link with a potential scammer and is a safe way to contact your bank's fraud prevention service when you suspect a scam is occurring or is about to occur. It works with most major UK banks and cannot be spoofed, meaning the call will never come from a scammer.
It may be worth saving this number in to your phone contact list.

As I should have mentioned earlier, Wimbledon has started today, and coverage is on the BBC iPlayer, some of which is in Ultra High Definition.
For those who haven't seen we have dedicated both our shop window displays over to the tennis.
Please come down and have a look and while there see Wimbledon in Ultra HD.

As this hot weather is continuing, we have fans in stock that will help to cool you.

Recently Microsoft has rolled out an update which has affected printing and scanning for some people.
This is because the Network settings have been changed from Private to Public.
Check this by right clicking the network symbol on the taskbar. Open Network and Internet Settings. Check the properties shows Private. If it shows Public, click on it and change it to Private.
This should then resolve the printing and scanning issue.
