Research & fact-finding
Need to know something and don't want to wade through a hundred tabs? We dig up the answer and give you the short version, sources included.
Welcome
Hello, and welcome — we're glad you found us.
Mr. Whatsit's is a small information and services practice. We help with the practical questions — the ones where you want a straight answer, a clear explanation, and someone who actually picks up the phone.
Here's how it works
- You tell us what you're trying to sort out.
- We explain the options in plain language.
- You choose — and we handle the rest.
Information & services
Straightforward help, delivered warmly.
Practical guidance
Forms, applications, paperwork, procedures. We'll walk you through each step and tell you what to expect before you get there.
Local information
What's open, who to call, where to go. Local knowledge, kept current and checked.
Tech help, without the jargon
Email, websites, files, backups. Explained in plain English, at your pace.
Referrals & signposting
If it's not us, we'll tell you honestly and point you to the right place.
Something else?
Ask anyway. If we can help, we will. If we can't, we'll say so.
A welcome, in plain words
Whatever brought you here, you're welcome. You don't need to know the right words for your question, and you don't need to have it all worked out first. Tell us what's on your mind and we'll take it from there.
No pressure, no jargon, no judgement — just help.
— Mr. Whatsit
