It's even GRIMMER up North after MEGA SKY BROADBAND OUTAGE

I suspect you mean Frodsham, not Frodshaw. Do try and keep up!

You thought NFC tags were Not For Consumers? Well, they're in Maplin's

As there are no in built profiles with Android (lots of 3rd party apps), using Tasker and NFC Task Launcher is the quickest way of putting the phone in the mode I want, with a simple wave of the phone at the tag
