Feedback, Fallout and Contributions

Great show chaps! I picked up one of those screenless trackers from PSC Classifieds, it’s an Amazfit Helio Band, initial impression is that it’s pretty good. For me, who likes the health & fitness data it allows me to wear my dress watch when I go out and still collect that ambient data. You have to be mad of course, but I am!

Air fryer – one of our high street department stores does demonstrations of cooking devices every so often. I would want to see one of those in action and taste a sample before I bought one.
