Sounds like a perfect match for BT :evil:

Indeed.

cr*p broadband? 'your neutrino beam isn't strong enough as you are too far from the exchange'

Oh welll, could have been diliithium crystals, BT could then say that they weren't aligned.

;D

So that is the good news. The bad news is that your neutrino "modem" costs £900million.

By the time BT get around to implementing the technology £900 million will be small change I expect ;D

I fear you will be right there, zappaDPJ. The Bank of England's crazy quantitative easing policy could make that happen as soon as the economy recovers. We should all write to our MPs demanding a full parliamentary debate to recommend stopping and reversing QE. I have already done so.
