OT= BBC Website

What the actual f**k??????

They've made it so you need a subscription ($89 a year) to read just about anything that might even be slightly interesting, except thankfully not the sports pages so far. Anyone have any website for British news/sports that they use & might be okay for us ex pats? And don't even suggest WOL, that place is useless.

I'm not here to discuss the merits or otherwise of the BBC as I am quite capable of forming my own opinion on most things & this isn't the only website I use but nothing compares to their range of topics.

Have you tried newsnow?

Sometimes use it to follow the day's stories if I don't have time to follow them properly.

Agree with Ned

I'll give it a try thanks.

Hope your safe and well in Texas with those terrible and tragic floods mate

Thanks but I'm in California so no floods here. it is wild fire season though so here's hoping it's a quiet year.

That's the website address I've used for 30 years now & they only started the subscription thing this last weekend. I don't have a VPN & all the free VPNs I've tried just infect my laptop with all sorts of stuff that I can't get rid off.

I'll just look at the headlines & move away from them for anything more involved.
