Good Morning + your weather report and general discussion

I have lots and lots and lots of good stuff to steal Davo.
Particularly as I am a big Gadget fan so have Computers and IPads and Mega size TVs to mention just a little.
I think some home securities are required wherever one lives.
I perhaps do go a bit over the top, but rather that than not have any security measures at all.

My cameras record for 60 days in the Cloud, so any problems I can look back for quite a while.
All my 6 CCTV cameras do that, and I pay Google NEST £10 a month for the service.
Money well spent as far as I am concerned.

Does the £10 pm include the cameras ?

The only thing missing from the feed is the time, which is a shame as it's very important when and if you need to check back

hit 40C today for us!

I would like to see a time being shown in the corner of screen as well actually Malcolm.
But as the feed is live and in real time all one has to do is look at their watch, so it is no big deal really.

When I want to look back on any recorded footage though the time and day are given as I scoot back through the footage.
Or look back on another day.

No Malcolm.
It doesn't.
That way would mean I am only renting them really, so they would not be mine to own.

I have purchased the cameras at a cost of around £150 each for my outdoor ones and £120 for indoor.
All HD picture quality.
I am happy to buy them and own them.
No worries!

You seem to be very well off BC....ie not afraid to count costs, computers, phones, TV's, television subscriptions, five holidays a year etc etc.
How did you accumulate your wealth ?

Good morning - A bright and pleasant day with a bit of sunshine promised

I don't know about being very well off Malcolm, but we are doing quite well.
One thing is that because I worked all my life on mainly shift work and permanent nights, and sometimes 12/14 hours 7 days a week as a quality control inspector in engineering.
Plus my Wife working full time but not my sort of hours.
We are now in a situation where we own our own lovely ground floor apartment here in Rhos On Sea/Colwyn Bay.
So with our Government Pensions plus Final Salary Pensions we have quite a good income coming in.
Plus acquired a few bob in the bank, so we do not need to worry about money at all.
So yes.
We are doing well.
But my God Malcolm.
We have worked hard for it!

Good afternoon to all my Forum friends.
Running a bit late today, but one way and another I have been so busy.
And that includes watching Football on Sky TV! 
Have been out for a promenade walk to get the Sunday papers and as the sun is shining at 12c it felt very nice.

If you want you can look below at live CCTV feeds from outside my patio door all the way from Colwyn Bay/Rhos On Sea here in North Wales.
Eight miles from Llandudno.


Looking towards the Sea here in Colwyn Bay:

Sad to say Davo.
Just when I was starting work at age 15 and I was earning £5 a week in T.K Holden Stock and Share Brokers in Liverpool.
My dear Mother gave me some very good advice:

'Kenneth.
Remember this:

Never a lender be'!

Sorry mate.
No can do!
