YES. And its really easy. Might take a few days and a phonecall though (to get what they call a ''pack number'').

No, it won't, and that's a pain (its happened to me this year that, and its a real hindrance). Are you going to stay with same mobile provider? If so they can do it all in the shop I think, otherwise, phone your mobile provider and ask them for the pack number and then take that with you to the mobile shop and then ask for help

If you phone up and say to your provider you want the pack number threy are likely to offer you a better deal in any case.

Brilliant! Hardly ever see them round here.

Keeping on wildlife theme, had a surreal moment yesterday when DW was driving us along the A48...a sparrowhawk flew along the hedgeline and kept pace with the car for about 5 seconds. Just like the tv cameras catching shots of birds in flight

Just taken most of the unsold Ebay/car boot stock to the Red Cross...gives me an excuse to buy more (and better) over the winter!!

I think you're right at 20%, which compares unfavourably to the 28% donated by the National Lottery to good causes. Personally I'd rather the NHS be properly managed and funded by Govt via fair tax policy. Health care is enough of a lottery already.
