Data Charges

Roaming charges would really only affect you if you don't happen to stay in somewhere with free Wi-Fi - at least it's becoming more and more common for hotels and the like to provide it.

Just wait until you're in for the night to send your card!

VM Speeds

I'm on VM's XL package and I have to say that I've never experienced problems with VM's speed - anytime I need to use it for large transfers, it maxes out to 2.2MB/s, for hours on end if need be.

Long may it last!

Scottish Government scuppers Lewis wind farm plan

Power Alternatives

The general public are never happy with power solutions put forward - we want renewable sources of energy such as wind farms, but we don't want them to spoil the landscape (usually high up on hills, where they are best suited to be).

We also don't want new nuclear stations to be built - but if you build one down south, of course we'll be happy to use the energy from it.

Get it sorted people - start accepting that to use renewables, we're going to have to sacrifice some of those oh-so-precious hillsides to ensure your lightbulbs remain lit.
