@lilbill15 I only manage the simple additions to maps and photos and I've no idea how to go about it on a mobile phone. However, here is a simple tip given to me many years ago by one of the grandchildren (then 11 yréars old): "just put a button or something on the spot you want me to look at and then take a picture so you can send it to me". That was to do with pointing out something on a document when I didn't know how to mark text for copying on a mobile phone but it would work well on a map I would imagine. It also obliviates the necessity of writing/making marks on your document/map. I'm sure Eggy has much better advice.1 point

Unfortunately the route from Netherton Colliery to Choppinton Station must be the only area (but there may be more) that this wandering Bedlington lad, (from The Oval and went to Barrington CP school 1953 to 1960) never wandered along. And in my youth I did wander and explore without wondering what my parents would be thinking as I was always late home from school or any other place I visited on a weekend. According to me mam I was, at the age of two and a bit, took a box of matches out of the house so I could stand it on end and try and climb over the gate into our house. I carried on wandering off for years. Good job there wasn't a Lock Down back then1 point

This photo taken by Willie Ward shows 3 miners ‘cavilling’. This was a system used by teams and individuals on ‘piecework’ whereby lots were drawn to decide on their workplace. The ‘cavil’ was the workplace number written on the piece of paper. The system prevented management favouring a particular team or individual and also meant that it was the luck of the draw whether you ended up in a section with good or bad conditions which could often affect your earnings.1 point -

Same here! but as of last week it doesn't recognize me and won't let me log into my Toshiba Satellite Vista, "The user Profile Service failed the logon, User profile cannot be loaded" It was my favourite computer as we spoke the same language ! most of my most important (but older) information is on it, I have most of the information on an external drive but my newer Windows and Apple just cooperate! 🙄0 points
