I did an ancestry one recently, it was rather fun! Can’t compare to 23&me though as haven’t done it. I’m American and as the Americans are very into family history, my family tree back to the 1600s had pretty much already been mapped out for me by other members. I think it uses AI to suggest potential/probable ancestors as you work your way back through time, based on what other people have already added. It was also interesting seeing my genetic breakdown, despite both parents being American I am apparently 80% English. Have fun!

I did the Ancestry one and found what I thought was a long-lost relative in a far away country. I was very excited until I found out my 101-year-old grandma knew about it all along and had never thought of telling us. LOL. I didn’t try the other one. Good luck with whatever you choose!

If you're doing it for family tree research, Peter Calver of LostCousins strongly recommends Ancestry as the most useful one -- a larger database, and, particularly, its useful software tools for getting at the information therein. https://www.lostcousins.com/newsletters2/jun23news.htm#Masterclass

    • Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.    
    • My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached. 
    • I just wanted to add to this stream. We employed Paul Edgeley  to fix our lights upstairs. They had suddenly all gone out and we could not isolate the issue. He came round the next day and fixed the issue - a problem with the old wiring in the attic - he put in new wiring for us. We were so happy with the job  that we asked him to do some other work in the house. I'm happy to recommend Paul.   His number: 07802627967
