    [Albion] Man City health certificate.

    The QR code on the ticket is a backup if you have a phone without NFC or can't get NFC working in the Google play app. Nothing to do with the NHS app.

    [Football] Ref Drysdale?

    Apart from VAR I don't think i have EVER seen a ref change his mind on a decision. Getting in his face and complaining is utterly pointless, players need to be trained to stop it or be punished for it in a game.

    [Technology] Broadband query

    If Virgin cable is available, try them. I get 212 mb download every day/all day (usually around 15ms ping). Getting 215 mb measured at the moment with the wife and I working from home and me on a Teams meeting. Any alternative ISP is limited if you are still on copper wire connections. Either...

    [Misc] Is Britain's Countryside too white?

    The proportion of people in the UK who identify as black is 3.3%, asian was 7.5% - of course the countryside is predominately white (85% of the population identifies as white)...

    [Help] Gardeners Question Time.

    Check the oil level. Too little oil will mean that the cylinder/piston lacks lubrication and is harder to move. So if it starts it might be too "tight" to keep running. Just don't overfill!
