Hope you\'re right

I always love a good book.

Joking apart - if the future's Orange - why can't I get signal anywhere that's important to me i.e. in my dining room or the New Forest?

Re: Not just Orange

Tell me about it, the same applies in West Sussex - and to think of all those lovely free minutes going to waste. It may cover 99% of the country but it certainly isn't MY country.
Someone knew something when they sold me this piece of c**p

Re: Not just Orange

it is the planning authorities and the nimbys

vodaphone have just released a whole load of sites for the new forest. how many actually get vertical will be v small as the planners will stop or holds them up.
c'est la vie.
people want the phones but not the infrstructure rerquired to operate.

Maybe, just once, someone will call me sir without adding, you're making a scene

Re: Indulgent sponsorship

The list is endless. Try getting a signal from Haslemere raiway station for Heaven's sake. I live six miles or so away and reception is still impossible.

Enquired about broadband. Same story. Seems we live too far from an exchange. Apparently broadband's only going to be available to about 40% of the population. Make's the current BT advertising look a little economical with the actualite although its probably buried in the small print.

As far as Orange workers are concerned I'm sure they do look askance at yachting sponsorship but a business still has to promote itself although I wonder about the impact on the UK consumer. I've always seen yachting sponsorship as rather indulgent and probably hard to justify except on rather subjective grounds.
