PG's Tips

Welcome to my blog!!!

It’s not a blog in the usual sense, it’s more a selection of hints and tips based upon my experience. Each page is on a topic I have some experience of as a user or a consumer. I will state up front that I am not qualified in any of these topics, like most I come at it from a starting position of knowing very little. So my blogs try to show you my thinking as I explore the topic and any conclusions I come too along that journey.

If one of my blogs helps you, give it a thumbs up, a like, a comment or a share. It lets me know I’ve been able to help and any feedback will help me in my future blog posts.
