Poxy O2 service..

Here's a copy of a note that I sent to O2 about its lousy service in this area:

"I enquired some time ago about the lack of good service for data in these two towns, Glastonbury & Street in Somerset. These are towns with a combined population of over 20,000 people, yet although practically everywhere else around here has High-Speed access or 3G we have to put up with the slow dial-up speed GPRS, where one constantly gets "timed out" or "limited access" messages. A new thing is the constant "FAILED" notes when even sending an SMS message. The signal appears to be good even when failing SMS's.

I think that it is pointless purchasing a smart phone for use with O2 in this area, and having to rely on one's own Wifi hub as I have to do to access the net. I think you are taking money under false pretences in taking money if one cannot even manage to send a Text message or obtain reasonable speed net access. I want a definite reply this time as to WHEN the service here is going to be improved. I have a lot of net viewers who await a note from you about this. Improve the service here Or many shall leave and join another provider."

Will it have any effect? I doubt it as they took not the slightest bit of notice when I wrote virtually the same thing over a year ago, just referred me to their Website! Not good enough.

How it has changed...

I visited my birthplace in London yesterday.

I was deeply shocked to see how the character of Woolwich has changed.

To be frank, to describe it as looking like a suburb of Mogadishu would not be incorrect.

Someone, somewhere has vastly underestimated the immigration figures for this green & pleasant land, and maybe deliberately too. Being outnumbered at least four to one has been postulated by a friend who I met and drank Coffee with, near Woolwich Arsenal rail station: he is not happy.

The place of happy memories is now a sea of Muslims; Afro-Caribbean and Halal shops and a new Mosque is nearing completion with "Phase two" starting soon.

Woolwich's most famous son was General Gordon; he of the Sudanese wars.

I stood in what WAS named General Gordon Place, yesterday, except that all references to him have been removed and a bland new square put in place, complete with giant TV screen.

I shall await with interest to see if the square gets named after Gordon, or if I suspect, his name has gone to be politically correct.

I may add to this as my mood sees fit, but I am concerned for our British way of life and want it to stay that way, with our culture, not one that has been imposed upon us.

Is that racist? I don't care whether it is, or seems that way, but I WILL have my say.
