Things I learned on the internet: apparently the country where a deranged tantrum-prone egomaniac fascist with dementia is leading the polls has a problem with its public education system.
This analogue landline turnoff at the end of this year is going to be a disaster for older folk. Less than nine months to go and the only official advice is "you may need to buy extra new equipment" *mic drop*.
No advice as to the equipment, nor where they've planted the magic money tree.
Yes *I* know what to do, and yes, *I* can afford it.
@chiffchaff It's been so completely unadvertised. Although to be fair I don't really consume any advertisement channels these days. But no household leafleting, letters from provider ... I might have had an email, but I think I found out about it by accident (and I'm not even sure how).
I'm still wondering how many rural exchanges still don't have fibre connection. Our old place up the valley certainly didn't last time I checked. How are they expected to cope?
Sorry for making this a reply to your unrelated toot. It was supposed to be top-level. Not saure what happened: I guess I just forgot what I was doing!

We have great education here, just not uniform in distribution or access. My daughter is off to teach as I write this!
