Matt McQueen

You mentioned the different covid tracing apps in use in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. I think these apps work together (they may not have at first). Not sure about Northern Ireland and Eire. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/national/protect-scotland-app-will-soon-work-in-england/ar-BB1atTSp

Ted, the S21 is going to have a charging cable. Not sure where you’re seeing that it won’t. Techradar article reported it

Philip Tomlinson

I think what annoys me most about this is last year they made a big issue out of saying “our phones come with a charger unlike Apple” and then do the exact same a few month later. Drives me nuts!

Hardline on the hardware:

Show Notes:

Love your podcast and have listened for years, which is what makes me

ask this....... have you thought of doing a special episode with the

old crew back together? Just thought might be interesting to hear you

again with Tracy, Matt and of course James and his Limericks! Even

grumpy Andy although he was on not so long ago.

 A bit random but thought I'd throw it out there!

 Cheers and keep the cast's coming.

Pete
