It requires a smart meter. Maybe you don't have them.

General Discussion / Re: Earl Spencer v the King

Quote from: Mups on Yesterday at 10:28:14 PMDid anyone see today's news about Earl Spencer having to apologise to Piers Morgan over things he had put in his book about him?
It seems Morgan is threatening legal action against the Earl now.  Just saw this:

Quote:
*
Piers Morgan is pursuing legal action against Earl Spencer and his publisher, Penguin Books, over claims made in Spencer's newly released memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister

*

I also saw somewhere that Harry is now thinking about making a documentary about his Mother too!

For heaven's sake leave the woman to rest in peace instead of using her to make more dosh.
It's all wrong IMO.

It was a factual error .
He stated  that Morgan was editor of the Mirror  at a time it took intrusive pics of Diana
He was not at the time .
Difficult to feel any sympathy for Piers Morgan

If it suits you then fine. Your cabinet will be one of many fed by the optical node where the fibre terminates.

I checked and it seems that VM are now installing their own fibre. They used to supply areas they hadn't cabled via the Openreach network years ago but pulled those products. They were carrying huge debts so I'm not sure where they are getting the money for that.

Quote from: Mups on Yesterday at 10:35:58 PMI'm with Octopus too,  I paid them today actually,  but I don't recall seeing anything about any 'saving sessions'?
Perhaps I'd better take more notice.  :hmm:

I'm with them and I never get those either.

Does anyone else find the news
Gives them a dose of the blues?
Yes,  so I choose to ignore it
Else I'll wish I never saw it
Or maybe even blow a fuse

I don't believe what Burnham did

Thought so.  Fair enough.
If you're not tech savvy, then probably wisest not to get embroiled with it.

I watch YouTube clips of scambaiting, and a lot of people get scammed because they don't really have enough knowledge to know when someone is sending and talking a whole load of old tosh.

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 12:09:09 PMIt's more likely that your connection is coax not fibre. What VM advertising as fibre is closer to fibre to the cabinet as the fibre ends at a large powered box that could be half a mile from you. From there it is sent over coax to lots of street cabinets.
Yes, I believe you are perfectly correct.  As I understand it, my coax connection extends down the road and across to a box on the other side.  A distance of less than a hundred yards.
Nevertheless, our connection is reliable and fast, so I have no complaints.

Quote from: Dextrous63 on Yesterday at 10:37:26 PMDo you not get emails Mups?
I guess you don't use the phone app.
No,  I don't use a phone app,  Dex.

In fact,  I only use my phone for calls, and texts, and sometimes to take a photo,  and that's about it.
I also always try not to give companies my mobile number,  as my mobile is for me and my friends,  not for big companies to pester me.

If they're not careful, Diana and Dodi will have to come out of hiding from their private island on the south China seas and write their own book.
