Facebook 'Others' Folder

There has been a mixed reaction to Facebook's changes to its Messenger service, announced this week.

In the next few days it will phase out the Other inbox, where members currently receive messages from people they are not Facebook friends with. Some members have expressed concern about harassment and spam gaining increased visibility.

Facebook users who run groups are also affected as they often communicate with group members who are not friends. Once the phasing is complete, all messages from people outside of a member's friend network will arrive as "requests" which the recipient can accept or reject.

Steam Car Hire Video

During the very early days of the twentieth century, different methods of vehicles were being produced with steam powered cars being chosen by the rich and famous for their transport. The traditional internal combustion engine was not really developed enough and steam cars were in their element.

Today, these incredibly rare, steam-powered machines are held in such High Esteem - we thought we would introduce Hire Steam - giving the opportunity to more people to see these magnificent machines first hand, to be able to hire them for jaw-dropping effect - even to have the opportunity to learn to drive one.

Both you and your guests will be spell-bound by the grace, beauty and craftmanship of these incredible vehicles. A steam car is a Classic Car showstopper; from the gleaming brasswork and paint, sumptuous leather interior to the sight and sound of movement via steam power. http://www.hiresteam.com/weddingcarhire.htm

Learn to Drive a Steam Car
The sights, the sounds - the exhileration of driving a steam powered car. Would you like to actually drive one?

We can now offer this fantastic opportunity to drive one of our steam cars - with you being fully hands-on and driving a unique, nostalgic car of yester-year; a truly unforgetable experience and one that is not available anywhere else in the UK.

Battle of Britain 75th Anniversary

A flypast involving about 40 Spitfires and Hurricanes is set to take place to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Prince Harry will join veterans to see the fleet of Battle of Britain aircraft take to the air - the most in any one place since World War Two.

75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain

A service is being held at London's St Paul's Cathedral, attended by David Cameron and Labour's new leader Jeremy Corbyn.

The battle, in the summer of 1940, was a pivotal moment in UK history. A range of events have already been staged over the past few months to mark the aerial battle, which raged between July and October 1940 as Germany attempted to destroy the fighting capacity of the RAF.

New Google Logo

Google has unveiled a new logo for its core search services. 

The change smoothes out some of the features in the letters that make up the well-known colourful logo spelling out its name. It said the change was needed because people were now reaching Google on lots of mobile devices rather than just desktop computers. The change comes after Google put its many divisions under an umbrella company called Alphabet. It said that the logo, and its many variations, would work better on the many different-sized screens through which people used or encountered Google and its services.

As well as the full logo of the company's name, it also plans to use four dots in its signature blue, red, yellow and green colours and a single, multi-coloured capital "G" to represent it. Google announced the change on its official blog and illustrated what was different via a series of animated gifs. It said the revamped logo was "simple, uncluttered, colorful, friendly" and represented the best of Google.
