To B.T or not to B.T, yet again

I got up at around half past seven this morning, a pretty normal time of day to get out of bed, (The only normal thing you ever do, I hear you say!!!) and, as usual, switched on the computer first. Then I went and made coffee, took tablets and all the rest before sitting down at the computer.

When I sat there, what a surprise, there was no access to the internet. There was nothing wrong with the system, I just couldn’t connect although BT charge me, like they do you, for 24/7 connectability.

What I found this morning is nothing new, it happens so regularly that I think that in future I’ll order the newspaper. Not quite as up-to-date but more chance of getting it.

The question has to be, why, oh why, up here in such a beautiful place as Shetland does BT get away with charging us the same price for a system that doesn’t work, as it does the rest of the country for a system that does work.

If you, Mr B. Telecom, have an answer to that, then I would be delighted to hear about it.

On the other hand, if you don’t have an answer, I’ve already heard the bullshit.

I think I've worked it out (with a pencil)

I think that I've worked it out. I did it with a pencil, haha.

No, seriously, I've been thinking about the death of last years trees. They were planted at the front of the house which means that they get much less sunlight. Once they have grown a bit they'll then get a bit more sunlight, enough to generate enough energy to get by in life but they never got the chance, they keeled over and died in the winter.

That happened primarily due to ignorance on my part but I've learnt my lesson and this time they are all around to the other side of the house where they will hopefully get enough to survive on. I've put a couple of last years around too, and one is improving more and more. It's slow but it is happening.

Now I know that they find UV light beneficial, I'll save up for a suntan system and in a decade they'll reach up to my waist, no problem :))
