    No to 80mph

    You need an allowance for speedo errors (currently 10%) On the motorway in a 50 average limit you often come up behind cars at 45 because they believe their speedo is correct when it obviously isn't... Inappropriate speed is the issue, high speeds on motorways are perfectly acceptable, the...

    getting rid of home phone

    08 numbers burnt that bridge...More and more people and businesses will drop landlines in time as the world moves forward. Phoning a business which the Mrs answers with screaming kids in background is equally a business turn off in my book. My business is separate (hence my mentioning my...

    getting rid of home phone

    If I reduce to BB only it drops down to £22 pm for their 30meg service without a landline. Still too expensive but less than half overall with a LL The only down side is their so called 'superhub' which is a pile of ****e :lol: Richard

    getting rid of home phone

    why do you believe a land line makes you more secure when dealing with a company if the LL is just a means of dirverting a call? However as I say this is for my home phone not my business...

    stretched reality to the point of very unlikely. I have a mobile, my wife has a mobile, both grannies have mobiles, uncle has a mobile etc etc Daughters mobile has more mobile numbers I can shake a stick at. . On reflection it's just an old fashioned way of thinking that's making us older...

    getting rid of home phone

    All valid but as yet in 51 years I have never called 999. Not that it might happen in the future but the chance of the network being down (here in Newbury home of Vodafone for example) at that very point is very slight. **** happens of course..
