Should there be a list ?
I think a list somewhere on the wiki and related to the already
established LUG list ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/UKLugMembers )
which details people who are willing to be contacted to provide help and
assistance

Sorry for your troubles. Just looked up LUG for West Cornwall only to find
that there is no active group in Devon, let alone Cornwall, let alone West
Cornwall. If all these experts really want Ubuntu to take off, they must
realise that ivory towers exist in all walks of life. Location

There isn't such a list for the UK. However, developing one would be a
very worthwhile task for this team to carry out - face to face help is a
very important type of help which is

Ok then, you have to earn a living. What about the retireds doing it on
flexitime ? Some protection would have to be provided against the
no-hopers, who might just have to be told this, whether they liked it or
not.

In our area, there are at least two experts who travel around the area
giving help, installing repairing etc on the spot face to face- there are
many computer literate elderly who benefit enormously from this service

Dear Leon, We tried- but I am not savvy enough- though I aim to be! The
problem is sorted now -seemed to be something to do with not shutting the
computer down properly..But that is not the point- I think the general
public need face to face help when threatened with a black and white screen

Yorkshire is so big...have checked my local LUG and there is nothing nearer

Sounds ok £30.00 an hour- but that hour could be quite a long hour if you
