My tablet was getting really hot again and when I checked, its internet connection had been “hi-jacked” by the local hotspot again. This happened non-stop after I moved in.

Now I have several subscriptions so usually plenty of data. (Data allowance is much more generous in the UK.) A few days ago, or maybe one day ago, it started happening again.

This morning, I also saw that one of my English phones had gone offline. I decided to remove an old voice mail message – has been there for ages, didn’t matter – and to my amazement couldn’t dial out. That’s when I saw that it said “emergency only”. Immediately after that, the SIM card came online again.

WTF is going on in this teeny tiny but really really really strange town? It has a culture that I am totally unfamiliar with and I have a feeling that it might also be really helpful if I speak and write exclusively English here so that people don’t get their knickers in a twist when I use what is likely English sarcasm… England’s main form of humor.
