I have an extremely annoying relative who is very anti-vaccinations and is spouting all sorts of (what I assume to be) nonsense about this on her facebook page. I'd like to give some informed,...

We've got 5 nights booked at a lovely hotel next week. It's ludicrously expensive already, but I'm assuming that tips are still expected on top. But how are you supposed to do that? Presumably you...

We've been lent a DVD player for the car for our holiday. However, they can't find the in-car charger for it, so we've only got the normal plug lead on it. Apparently if we charge it before we go, it...
