@keefeglise You're not missing much. In practice 5G is often slower than 4G and the signal is far more susceptible to interruption. And in both cases congestion on the backhaul means actual data throughput in London and other busy cities can be abysmal regardless of the speed of the connection to your phone.

Yesterday I re-potted 3 houseplants using #organic potting compost because y'know, environmentally responsible etc.
Today I keep getting whiffs in the living room like something has died.

@fesshole Is that anywhere near Stansted?

@jamesb ISTR that you’re only entitled to a break after so many hours of working - can’t remember how many but I think it was at least 4 - so unless you started in the wee small hours 9am is probably too soon.

@losttourist I have no regrets.
Just an Egret.

No, since you ask, I don't have anything better to do than sit on a groyne watching the waves.

A reminder for anyone that has a "secret" mobile phone for any reason.

Government Emergency Alerts system test.

At 15:00 on Sunday 7 September, the UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system. Compatible mobile phones will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. You will not need to take any action.

The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there's a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather. Regular testing ensures the system is functioning correctly, should it need to be used in a life-threatening emergency.

Find out more on the gov.uk website.
