A parent has complained about the school wi-fi and they reckon it can cause health effects. The risk is nil, well 0.0001%. I really thought this fiasco had passed.

Heaven forbid if you take your child outside. There's more risk of phone signal damage.

We live in such a namby pamby world.


By my calculations then if that is the risk, approximately 20 people can be expected to suffer health effects in Swindon.

They complained at your school?

One of our schools. You get more radiation from satellites in space. This parent has removed their 'wireless' router and hard wired all their house. Mobile phone signals are a lot worse.

Reg, I made the % up but it is so so little.

Is the zone director a robot or something, is he like a non-executive director?

No, I remember asking a single mum from Park South out to see a film back in 82, I wanted to go and see Tron, as I had a Spectrum ZX, and was therefore on the cutting edge of new technology. She was quite fit, so when she refused, preferring some soppy shite that I can't even remember I agreed to forego Tron.

Her local was the Crumpled Horn, this added to her taste in film, and some other fellas sprog, meant it was never going to work.

We all know how painful a crumpled horn can be. Well left alone Reg.
