I believe it to be around £28 including line rental and sky sports.

What do you keep in it?

At the end of the day, the connection and speeds for a particular house are pretty much the same for every provider who has to use the Openreach network - you’re paying for customer service and the router that they provide you with.

Plusnet come out significantly better than other providers, so if you can get their package for significantly less (and if setting up a new account with them involves about the same admin as transferring across the TalkTalk one), then I can recommend going with them.

Dunno, but my post office broadband upload speed is 0.4 mbps, anyone know if you can get out of a contract if something just isn’t fit for purpose?

The issue arises when you have a problem - their support are (or at least were, this is ~2014) extraordinarily shit. No record of my account, no record of previous calls, no technical ability whatsoever. Just thinking about it all these years later is making me cross.

Can’t ever quit this job because of the free lunches. I mean, it’s not great food, but… free lunch. Every day.

Couple of sun loungers that my mum gave me that I have never used. Gazebo my wife’s uncle gave us that we have never used. Some wheeled vehicles my son has grown out of. Step ladder. Some paints. Mower. Power washer. Some cardboard. Some more accumulated shit.

Costs me best part of a grand a year.

there’s a well known saying about free lunches, eps

“free lunches; probably not that great, but at least they’re free”

Luckily (fingers crossed) I’ve not had an issue, yet.

The best thing is that people moan about their free lunch because the canteens on the other sites are better.

Which they definitely are, tbf, but it’s free.

Quite a few of the lads in accounts buy lunch from the catering van, which makes me sceptical about their decisions regarding company finances.

Depending on what mobile you have and what the signal’s like in your area, it might be worth moving mobile contracts to Three. They’ve just dropped their cap on tethering, meaning you could get rid of your 4G router and just share your phone’s internet.

If only it wasn’t at your back gate, then you could genuinely call it a lock up.

I like the idea of you having a lock up.

Hmm. Looks like you need a phone line for Plusnet and we got rid of ours. Virgin are pricey but we had Sky before and they were dreadful so reluctant to change again. Better the Devil and all that. Also the speeds are brilliant.

There are some more available in the block. Could get another and spend £150 a month. I mean, if it made you happy?
