I have three things to tell you, which sounds ominous but isn’t at all. The things I want to tell you about are from the boring, administrative side of life, the side of life that involves finding postage stamps and printing off Amazon returns forms and checking whether your direct debit to British Gas is still working. That kind of stuff. I’ve squished them into one long Sunday Tittle Tattle because they aren’t my usual subject matter – if I wrote about them in standalone posts they’d sound a bit like those American infomercials that you get on the telly!
My first “thing” is Gigaclear. Now this won’t really interest you unless you live in a rural area (UK) and have internet so slow that a pigeon could deliver a message in less time than it takes to send an email. The people at Gigaclear visited my village, which has very slow internet, and did a whole speech about how they are turning the rural internet services around by installing a new type of broadband that goes directly to your property rather than the BT style that stops at a box. Or something. Don’t ask me for the technical specifics, I just wanted to share the fact that I have signed up to it. There has to be a certain proportion of your village that registers interest (you give direct debit details, they don’t take payment until it’s all up and running) and so it depends on how many of your locals want it. Surely everyone wants fast internet...
