Anything north of Southampton is considered north for us.
Like Wallace and Gromit but instead of cheese it’s biscuits.

There’s still a bit of graffiti around which is on the same page as that so I can believe it!
I have a work phone on O2 and it’s shockingly poor in my area. Strong 4G+ signal but so slow it’s unusable. I assume it’s over subscribed or an issue with the nearby masts.
I have Three ony personal phone. This is good where I live but move towards the town centre it grinds to slow speed despite being a strong signal.
It really does feel like there’s just too many devices and not enough capacity for them.
Separate note. I read somewhere (and I forget where) that a high number of 5G masts are being rejected planning permission by pressure put on by local residents. It’s something mad like 90% are denied. There was one planned right next to where I lived but people started putting up posters about it looking ugly. The public notices disappearee so I assume the residents won. The location was right next to a roundabout and close to a railway. I really doubt it would make a different to their view.
Blimmin heck! Appreciate the effort in digging that photo up! It doesn’t sound like the same place though.
I’ve done a similar journey in the past and there’s places to stop everywhere. Even in a jungle in north Sulawesi at night, middle of no where, some fella selling durian in a cabin next to a dirt road.
This is covering a few experiences across Indonesia. We stopped at a frozen food shop which had 2 lions in small cages. Stopped at a private collector to see the world’s smallest primate (which I can’t remember the name of now) to find chimpanzees in cages bearly large enough to hold them. Driver stopped at a village which was ravaged by a volcano and people rebuilding their houses, asked if we wanted to stop to take pictures. Asked if we want to visit a wet market selling dog meat. Mid 2000’s, driver asked if we wanted to stop by at the scene of the Bali bombings for photos. Went to a turtle sanctuary to find them baking in bad conditions. Went to a coral reef to find some of the worse plastic pollution I’ve personally seen. Don’t even start me on Jakarta! Although that pace is improving in recent years
Place is crazy. Total lack of consideration for animals and people, unless religion or culture is involved, then the rules are strict. I got in trouble once for handing money over with my left hand.
Totally different to what I’m used to! Place is nuts.
Do you remember where in Indonesia that was? I visited one near Bandung not realising what this coffee actually was. Bit like you I left without trying or buying. The place was a visitor centre and we weren’t allowed to look at the actual farm.
I was in Bandung in Indonesia earlier this year. We visited one of these places not realising what it was. The visitor centre had a bunch of cages which weren’t small but I wouldn’t say large enough for the size of the animal. We asked if we can see the actual farm. He said it was the largest farm so we asked to see it. Nope, not allowed.
They’re also on a strict diet. I wouldn’t be surprised if the ones not on display are force fed.
I have hifiman Sundara and KZ ZS10. Both excellent and great value.
I also liked it. I enjoyed it more than the hobbit movies.
I know somebody who does this and accidentally racked up a £3,500 phone bill while on holiday. He was accidentally using the wrong SIM for data.
I have two phones. A personal one and one provided by my company. I like being able to turn off my work phone when on holiday, etc and keep my personal life separate.
I do know a lot of people who sold their personal phones when given a work phone and use it for both. Saves some money I guess but no thanks.
I also know people who have two phones but install all the work apps on their personal phones to make it easier for them. No thanks!
Same for me. If I feel a sneeze coming on I look at a bright light to hurry it up. I thought this was normal but appetite isn’t.
There was a bloke at work who pretty much said that. And that he wants gold top milk back…
It’s sort of backfired for idiots like that. The care homes and hospitals in my area now have a wider diversity of staff, the people these idiots don’t like the look of. Brexit restricted the supply of the people they like the look of.
I work for a a UK food manufacturer which did export 40% to the EU. The added costs of getting food over to EU resulted in the sales teams having to renegotiate the selling prices to EU customers. Most basically said no. Why should they pay a higher price when they can source the same type of product within the EU at a lower price. The big EU buyers stopped trading with us.
When politicians say businesses need to adapt I really have no idea what they have in mind when they say that. We are not in a position to demand customers pay more. And most businesses aren’t in a position to swallow additional costs. The only reason our business didn’t sink is because it’s part of a much larger group so was able to flatten out the financial impact by borrowing internally.
I’m starting to think “adapt” means tough shit.
