PS - I'd be very interested to see how you got the 'News' component to work - since I couldn't see how to use it at all!

Working perfectly as far as I can see, you're all geniuses or is it genii.
I'm just using the generic I2c backpack LCD it did not seem to have the clear line bug
Thanks very much I'm going to study how it was done.
All the best

I think I got it to work by pure chance, it would not work using the esp8266 in hardware but seem the work ok in simulation.
The Lolin D32 worked ok though, I notice the wiki page said to use the same ip address that the weather component uses but that
did not work but I tried the ip from feeds.bbci.co.uk and that worked. 23.4.209.147
I can't figure out how to attach my file it won't drop in and due to the .fcfx ending windows won't let me select it.

That looks really good.
Well done Martin, you have done a great job with the code for the LCD.
Well done Mark for the rest of the flowchart.
