I’m looking for a little advice regarding the selling of shares.

Some years ago I received a number of shares as part of a demutualisation exercise. The company is based in Canada and I have a concern that, given what Trump is doing on that side of the pond, they may drop in value so now might be a good time to sell them.

Never having done this before I’m looking for advice in the best way to proceed from those who have, and the likely cost of me doing so. I hold the certificates myself so no third party is involved at present.

Many thanks in advance.

Particularly their Chime Pro?

If so it may be worth checking your router’s Security Log.

This is a very small sample of what mine is showing

192.168.1.189 is the ip address of my Chime Pro

This is happening every 6 hours on the dot and there are around 20 of them at a time.

Have reported to Ring and they sent me a new Chime Pro but that is doing exactly the same thing. After moving the Chime Pro to a separate network other Ring Devices on the original network are doing the same thing.

Ring don’t appear to be very proactive in getting to the bottom of this.

If, like me, you have a Rotary Elite rectangular dual faced watch here’s a link that shows how to replace the two batteries in it.

Takes two batteries, Renata 321 for the black face and Renata 362 for the white. It also helps if you have a movement holder when changing the battery on the white face, though he doesn’t mention that in the vid.

Saves paying a lot of money to have it done – cost me £40 last time, (and one AD wanted £70!).

Last November I ordered 2 items of golf clothing from American Golf as part of a Christmas present for my youngest son. A short while later I got a message from EVRi saying that they’d tried to deliver the parcel but, as there was no one in, they had left it in my safe place. Odd, as we were in and expecting it. Also, we haven’t a safe place as the property is high gated and locked on both sides, the front being completely open plan. They did also include a photograph of the agent’s hand, with parcel, over the gate of a bungalow which is not our property.

Long story short, turns out the parcel was only addressed to me, town name and post code. No street, no house number.

After much too-ing and fro-ing between American Golf and EVRi American Golf agreed to send replacement items, which they did.

Four and a half weeks later my Sister-in-Law called me to say someone had posted on a FaceBook group that a lady was trying to trace me as her Mother had found a parcel with my name on it, covered in leaves, down one side of her bungalow which she rarely goes down. And thus I was united with the original parcel.

As I’d already had the replacement I contacted the agent at American Golf who had dealt with the original issue and she advised me that to get the parcel back to them I have 2 options, 1. Arrange a courier at my expense, get a copy of the receipt, send it to them with my bank details and they would manually reimburse me, as they don’t do return labels; or 2. I could take it to my ‘local’ American Golf store.

Option 1 would be pain in the backside and option 2 involves a 4 mile each way journey across town.

Either way, I’m the one being put out when the whole thing was their mistake!

Option 2 it is then – the price of honesty eh?

Saw this on Facebook and it made me smile.

Santa is a Yorkshireman
Of this I’m fairly sure
I heard him tiptoe in my room
At roughly Ten to four

"I ‘ope tha’s fast asleep" he said
"Or tha’ll get nowt my lad"
He smelled of Hi Karate
(Must av pinched it from my dad)

Just down stairs I’d left a treat
Santa loves a beer
He loves pork pies and single malt
That was Dad’s idea

When I woke next morning
I ran down stairs to see
If Santa had been kind enough
To leave gifts under t’tree

He got our mam a Nightie
And a pair of china pigs
Our dad got socks and undies
And 200 park lane cigs

My sister got a Barbie
Sat on a plastic horse
A One Direction annual
Which she loved of course

When I unwrapped my parcels
My Yorkshire heart did sing
Each gift that Santa gave me
A truly wondrous thing

A flat cap for my noggin
A vest of finest string
The ferret keepers handbook
Each gift fit for a king

So thank you Santa thank you
You surely are a tyke
But can you please remember
Next year I’d like a bike
