    I could say the same for this tablet i'm using. I have failed the test at applying online for a bus pass, and will now have to get the library staff to do it for me. πŸ™„

    I haven't a clue, some nonsense about camera permission, all Double Dutch to me. πŸ€”

    I don't want to join 'WhatsApp' or 'Yoti' to complete the process, and i doubt all the technically challenged in my community do it either!

    It was only a few years ago, that we had actually council offices to go to for this kind of thing. Went the same way as the bank branches, lol.

    Probably cooking, most of the time I'm able to cook really nice meals, my mum always really liked them and I really like them myself.

    Lip Reading

    I did not know that i could lip read until professor David Moore told me in the 2000s that everyone can Lip Read.

    So later when i was watching and UK based film of TV I turned the sound off, and there I was Lip Reading the cast.

    I now understand with more information from prof. David Moore that Lip Reading helps me work around my lifelong Auditory Processing Disorder and why i have problems in groups of more than 4 or 5 people

    Don't worry about lip reading them, most likely they will be saying 'bottle of beer' or 'sausages'. 🍺🌭

    A ventriloquist is an entertainer who performs the illusion of speaking or producing sounds without moving their lips, making it appear as though the voice is coming from another source, usually a puppet or "dummy

    The definition from google.

    So I would avoid such a situation.

    I need to see real people talking in their way of talking face to face and one to one.
