Behind the scenes

Consider:

Serco offers landlords a long-term lease of at least 5 years with guaranteed rent paid on time, every month with no possibility of arrears. They will also make their own repairs and cover the maintenance costs of the property. The utility bills will be covered by Serco so that illegal immigrants and asylum seekers dont have to pay them themselves. They will also cover the cost of the council tax for the property they rent. 
Consider also:


And consider this in reaction to my outage last night which I've just been discussing by phone with my provider ... here by reader Woodsy:
WRT internet outages, which seem more frequent nowadays than ever before, I bought a cheap phone from Amazon and a sim only deal from Sky, few quid a month. I like mobile data when we use the camper van and the Sky deal allows data to be rolled over from the winter months when I don't generally use any rather than running out in the summer. Set the phone as a hotspot and you get a very useable connection. Home broadband has done some wierd stuff this summer. I have two wireless senders (router and a cabled in remote sender cos walls are thick). A while ago the Wife's tablet refused to connect to the router, but connected OK via the secondary sender. Did all the checking, restarting etc, nothing doing so I made a 'guest account' on the router- that worked fine for two days then that refused connection as well, but a day or so later the basic one started working again. Nothing had been touched or changed in the house. Currently she has lost access to an email account on her desktop via the mail programme, just refuses connection, I have an acc with the same company and same domain working perfectly OK (at the moment). Checked all settings and restarted etc, still not fixed but webmail working for her OK. How, why? I think the internet system is now too complex and beset by anti spam, surveliance, selective blocking etc for it to be fully maintainable even for users not in the spotlight.

And lastly, consider this:
