How does the journo know that the 'large pigeon' flew into the shop by mistake, did he interview it, may have gone in there entirely on purpose.

Playing FM2023 and this came up just 4 months into the season.

Interesting to see the 2nd name on the list of replacements!

Openreach >  Cityfibre.

Learnt a lesson today, when someone says the trunking is blocked - wait until the guy who has the hard work to dig it up comes before believing them. It got unblocked and the fibre cable is ready and waiting without digging up the drive. Result.

This makes me smile so I've put it here, but it's normally smiling in bewilderment. Radio censors being completely useless at censoring rap*

Case in point, Wu-Tang - C.R.E.A.M. was on the radio yesterday. They cut a reference to Raekwon's mum leaving his dad, but left in bits about drugs and street robbery.

I could bore you with the details, but in short wholesale prices are all calculated based on oil prices whatever the source, hence even those of us on 100% renewable plans got clobbered when it went through the roof.

It is supposed to be coming down, but I suspect it will be a lot slower than it went up, never get down to where it was before, and all the bollocks about price lags and advance buying/hedging causing prices to remain high, will be quietly forgotten when the wholesale price gets lower.

As usual, any price increase will be passed on to consumers asap, any decrease slowly if at all. It's always the way across plenty of different markets!
