I have a Tom Tom One Sat Nav. I have just updated my maps but my screen says No Maps Found. I cannot find the query in FAQ's on the site.

How do I get my maps back? Any help would be appreciated.

Bid TV has been off air for a couple of weeks claiming technical faults. Now their channels are gone. Obviously they have gone but I have seen nothing in press. Does anyone know whats happened?

The Police Commissioner for Devon & Cornwall has run up expenses of £700,000 since being elected. Last night he refused to be interviewed for the local TV station. The money has allegedly been spent on organising his offices, staff and "consultants"

He was elected when the average turnout was 14% but pledged to do his bit. Has this experiment been a disaster? Here in Devon it certainly seems that way. What is your experience of this matter?

When I grow onions or garlic they run to seed and large stems appear with flowers on top. I have read you should trim young plants but farmers don't. What should i do?

Where did he make his money to become a millionaire and rear two millionaire sons? He was penniless when he came to Britain.

I have just dug a good crop of potatoes but some have a small brown scab like blemish on them. A couple are almost covered in it. What is it and are they safe to eat. They are only on the skin, the flesh is clean. Thanks.

I recently bought an item from a company whose offices are in Liverpool. The item came in plain packaging and was obviously pre used but sold to me as new. I returned it and made a complaint. I have received a refund but my complaint goes unanswered despite two letters.

How do I follow up? Someone told me trading standards will not deal with it.

My Yahoo mail refuses to send mail saying there is a temporary fault. I have gone to Help and cleared and restarted as advised to no avail. Temporary fault 2 now seems a permanent fixture. I have had several issues with Yahoo Mail over the last couple of months and Google is beginning to look attractive.

What is your opinion of Kia cars? I am considering changing and am not a student of cars. The seven year warranty seems inviting and suggests reliability. Are you an owner and what is your opinion?

UK only please. Thank you.

I have had my email account suspended by Yahoo because yesterday I sent a message to multiple addresses concerning bad news about a colleague. why do this? The whole idea surely is to communicate. Now considering G Mail who do not have such a policy.

Churches have small solid towers on them with small shaped stones on outside. Why are they on all churches and what do they signify, if anything?

My father always washed his car in washing up liquid. My car was really dirty after the bad weather so I decided to wash it only to find I was out of shampoo. I washed my car in washing up liquid and used a liquid polish after. My car has never looked so clean and is gleaming. I have heard you should not use liquid as it has a salt content but how much can there be in a couple of squirts? Any comments or similar experience?

Is Olive Oil beneficial if taken daily as a suppliment? I have been advised one teaspoonful daily each morning has benefits which outwegh negative results. I am concerned about taking oil in such a way as it may increase cardiac problems.

To all our American friends. How does your healthcare system work? How is it funded and what service do you get? Can you get medication, treatment and operations and have access to a doctor?

The NHS here is funded by taxation in the form of National Insurance and we get access to all of the above. Our news channels cover the upcoming election and Medicare versus Obamacare but I am not sure of the way it works.

I did ask a similar question a few weeks ago and got some very politicised abuse. This is a genuine query and I have no politcal opinion of your system. Thanks.

I have always made my own pickled onions, red cabbage, eggs & beetroot usually for Xmas. I do as my parents did & use full strength vinegar. I recently read an article where the vinegar was diluted 1/3 with water. Is this normal practise and do the items still have the "crunch" to them?

I have been quoted £299 for a replacement timing belt on Seat Leon 1.9TDi. My last car was £65 for same job. Why so much this time?

Can someone please recommend a good garlic press that actually works? I have bought several over the years and have always been disappointed. Most of the bulb remains in the holder and what comes through is a fine mess which has to be scrapped off. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have just seen the Mitt Romney convention on TV. One of his promises is to prevent Medicare. In simple terms why are Americans so set against a form of National Health Service. Why are they so prepared to see their fellow citizens suffer and die due to lack of care. It just seems so alien to us Brits who have a health service funded by taxes. Is it the fact that taxes pay for it that galls them so?

The Buckingham Palace PR machine makes much of William & Harry's membership of the armed forces. This week has seen them at the Olympics so surely they will be there for finals next week. a couple of weeks ago they were at Wimbledon. When do these two playboy princes actually serve and however did they acheive promotion? Could anyone also explain how much leave they are entitled to in a year as they seem to have used theirs up already.
