Mr Owl had a landline phone until last year but it was only used for the answering machine. Mr Owl was a building inspector with the National House Building Council or NHBC. Site managers had to phone up and book him in to check various stages of the new builds. The NHBC underwrite themselves so to help minimise the chance of a massive payout they send people in people like Mr Owl to check the build. Mr Owl still works in construction but no longer for the NHBC. We do have fibre here but we live in a city and the winds here at worst don’t usually hit more than 50mph. The joke here is that for 9 months of the year it’s 12 degrees and raining and for three months of the year 1 degree above and dry. Mobiles for the most part do work but even here we have black spots. The telephone pole that sits in the middle dividing four gardens including ours dates from the 1940s and the area has changed massively since then. |

Those mobile users living in the area of Kent that Shirley’s daughter does have to be very careful now that free roaming is ending. One’s mobile signal can easily be picked up by masts in France. |
