Hey, great news! They’ve reduced roaming charges throughout Europe.

If this news instantly turns you into a giant question mark, this Friday 17 June is your chance to ask as many smartphone questions as you like and walk away with all the answers by teatime. You can also ask questions about laptops or tablets.

Just head to the Highgate School Library for an afternoon of free, informal one-to-one computer familiarisation sessions over a nice cup of coffee. We do tea as well. And cake.

If you don’t yet possess any electronic gadgets, don’t worry, we do and we’d love you to come and play with them.

“This is exactly what I needed! I’ve made lots of notes and I am much more confident with my laptop now. Thank you” says 65 year old Highgate Coffee & Computers friend, who has just booked a bargain summer break online.

If you want more info, give Stuart a call on 020 8347 2411 (quoting Highgate Coffee & Computers). You can also email us on highgatecoffeeandcomputers@gmail.com to tell us what you want to know more about.

People have asked if they can buy stuff from us. The answer is no, we’re not here to sell you anything. We just give you some useful hints and tips for your computer or smartphone, drink coffee, relax and chat.

The world is at your fingertips. Literally!

It’s all free, and we look forward to saying hello.

Warm regards
