    Adding colour to B/W photos

    My Heritage has introduced a program to automatically add colour to black & white photos. I've tried a few and some of the results haven't been too bad. You need to be registered with My Heritage but this is free. See https://tinyurl.com/usrxjlh

    Windows 10

    I find it far easier to use the old control panel - Windows Key + R and type control.exe. Select sound and then the Sounds tab. You could save the existing scheme if you want then change it to No Sounds. This will tell you whether or not it's a windows bleep. If it still does it, it's most...

    IP address

    Can't quite work out whether it's OK now or not! If not try these (after checking for nasties as others have recommended) 1. Make sure your browser is up to date. 2. Clear your browser cache. All browsers are different but can advise if I know which browser you're using - or use Ccleaner.

    IP address

    Didn't have that problem but wasn't keen on the steering (worm & peg?) - not nearly as positive as rack & pinion. Main probs were king pins and bushes, and the seals under the wet liners which compressed and let water into the cylinders. There was noticable piston slap when cold and when I had...

    My dad bought this1954 Triumph Renown around 1959. Built by Mulliners on a Standard Vanguard chassis with a 2 litre engine it was quite comfortable but heavy to drive having no power steering. Dad sadly died in 1961 but I ran the car for a couple of years. However as I was saving up to get...

    old car snaps

    Hi Lyn. Yes, grandmother in the doorway and her sister standing by the car. No idea who the other lady is and I can't identify the three men either although I suspect (hope!!!) they were the respective husbands. So sad that so many photos have no details on the back. I have a leather bound...
