In A+E, I get it. But a local GP surgery where you HAVE to have an appointment? I’m not buying it.

And what about the doctors who are half an hour late for the very first appointment of the day. How is that possible?

The last time I took my daughter to the doctor’s, we had the 8:30am appointment. First of the day.

I was feeling pretty optimistic that we would be in and out by 8:45.

So we arrive at 8:20 and take our seats in the waiting room. 8:30 rolls around, no call. 8:40, no call. 8:50 no call. At 8:55 a side door opens and 8 doctors stroll out with coffees in hand and make their way to their individual consulting rooms.

At 9:10 we got the call to go in.

I get that they might need to have a morning meeting to get setup for the day, but 8 doctors each wasting 40 minutes, and the entire appointment book playing catch-up for the rest of the day, seems like a colossal piss take.

Why not, like, have your meeting earlier…?

Lemmy see how this all plays out

It’s not about money, it’s about having a teeny tiny bit of authority over others in your otherwise meaningless existence.

And now I think Duolingo is throwing some bum sex shade.

Here in the UK, our exchange buildings have emergency battery and diesel generator backups so if power does go out for an extended period, then at least the head ends and exchange equipment will still function.

Even a relatively small building will have a backup generator with a 1000 litre fuel tank.

Netomnia is a company that uses Openreach’s infrastructure (poles,ducts,manholes) to provide their own FTTP network. The cables and fibres they provide are ownred by them, but they lease the duct space from Openreach in order to get it from their own headend to a customers premises.

There are dozens of these PIA companies all over the UK who have varying degrees of quality when it comes to building a network.

I’ve not seen Netomnias build, but I have seen others like Airband and Full Fibre who are decent, to the other end of the scale like Virgin and Digital Infrastructure whose work is shocking to say the least.

I personally have Airband and I’ve been very impressed with their price and service. If Netomnia offer a decent no strings package, it might be worth giving it a shot as Openreach or Virgin might not have plans to build in your area in the near future.

For real? York is one of England’s most historically important cities. And a really nice city, too. What sucked about it?

This ain’t your first rodeo, eh?
