Would love to have The Times free each day, but couldn't see how you would do it from here. Maybe its just me.

So can somebody explain this please. I have a uk library card, but cannot access it here, they do not allow you to use it overseas.

You don't actually need one. Just do this:

Enter an email address and make up a new password + enter barcode: 800147197.

Or enter: oxfordshire@pressreader.com and barcode: 800147197

(I am using a VPN connected to a UK server).

Just save it as a favourite/bookmark or whatever the browser you use calls it - then just click on the bookmark/favourite to start it - though you'll probably have to enter the number each time....

Ok, I've done that now thank you. But cannot see how to enlarge the page when your reading a magazine. Also can you save your favorite newspaper or mag? Takes a while to find the uk section, then scrolling down lots to find your specific mag.

Brian, why doesn't England come under North European Newspapers, when Scotland and Wales do? Still trying to get The Times on line.

Scroll down the first page to Western European Newspapers - you'll find England there!

They probably think the only important bit of England is that which is south(east) of Wales.....

* SERVICE DISRUPTION 15/9 - apologies but remote access to PressDisplay is currently not working. It has been reported to the supplier and hopefully will be fixed soon*

Hopefully just a glitch.........

After a small section of an article,the Times site logs you out and requests a password and subscription...so no further forward.

Thanks for this; rather frustrated when the old number stopped working - this new number does the job!
I've been able to use PressReader (successor to pressdisplay.com) at my local library (UK) but it's a bit temperamental online....

Internal CCTV sounds painful.... do you use it watch your digestive tract?

00))) Are you and Keith aware that the last few comments have been made by the founding members of a Cyprus sailing club?

And to answer your question about my digestive tract, no. My Internal Medicine CCTV system does that!
