I have noticed that over the past few days Neighbourly displays in a large (mobile version) display when veiwed on desktop using Firefox. The problem doesn't exist when viewed via Edge so I suspect Neighbourly have an incompatibility issue with the Firefox browser. Time for the IT boys to earn their keep!

The up sides are that I can view Neighbourly without needing my reading glasses, and all those pesky adverts down the sides have disappeared.

Hi All,

My in laws have a little community library set up on Belt Road that they have been doing for a few years . It is greatly appreciated by all in the local community that use it often. However last night someone decided to take most of the books from the library for whatever reason which is very sad . Not sure if they were taken to onsell for a few $ each or if it’s kids and the books have been mindlessly dumped somewhere. If you are looking to reduce your fiction book collection and they are in good condition please feel free to leave them in the library for others to enjoy and swap.
