I'm not on VM, do no - but check the forum - may give you an idea.

TPS is a toothless tiger in this situation - see my comment in post #66 as to the true origin of the phone-calls, TPS has NO jurisdiction outside the UK. As to the emails, just mark them as 'spam' and your ISPs spam filtering service should intercept them after a reasonable number get reported.

Very sensible, @kay1 - exactly the right way of dealing with them.

I certainly have, although I get very few myself, I post quite often on one site to try and persuade people to not answer these calls, and the last new post was nearly 40 hours ago. Simple explanation - 99.9% of these calls originate from the Indian sub-continent, and they are in total lock-down, so cannot use the 'call-centres'

@Baron99 - EXACTLY!! In response to post #108

No problem. Can't answer your follow-up questions, but maybe it has broken down and the owner needs to arrange recovery/repair?

Just checked the MOT/tax status on the GOV.UK site, and it is legal, so unless it is causing an obstruction, nothing can/will be done.

Then the Google Playstore will be installed. Yes - she doesn't want to be hit by unexpected bills, and some games make it easy to inadvertantly hit an 'upgrade/install' button.

Android/iPad/w.h.y?

@geared - you mean bring the country to a standstill? - Not a real option, IMHO.

Well said, @Resident. I was going to try and reply earlier, but couldn't find the words.😀

Thanks @Annie Bynnol , for your 'to make it clear' comment and your first line, too.

You didn't say it was Sunday 08/03/20 - you implied it was today, the disruption is due to Network Rail work and therefore out of the hands of the rail franchisees.

@Bigal1- Can't see that on either the TPE or National Rail sites?

Thanks @Ghozer you are correct of course that an iPad isn't worth the hassle for the reasons you state, although I didn't know you could bypass the lock. I should have remembered the origin of 'rooting' too - must stop multi-tasking when I try and answer technical questions 😀
