Three also include Netflixs for free at present.
As I don't use nor fully understand Netflixs, I forgot to mention this. Apparently you can 'go binge' without using your data.
We use the Huawei mifi on the boat, at home, indeed wherever we are. It's the only 'hub' we have.
Jane does have a smart phone with 5gb of data a month too.
When we first disappeared on the boat, in 2005 we had no internet connection at all.
We didn't access the internet until 2008, and what an amazing difference it makes.
Nearest shops, bus and train times, things to see and do, car hire, even viewing an area are all available at the touch of a button.
Internet access makes an incredible difference to boating don't you think?

"You’ll pay for snubbing Huawei: Chinese diplomat warns Britain it will cut investment if tech firm is blocked from helping build 5G network" How nice. "But this week the US ramped up pressure on Huawei by branding it a national security risk and adding it to a ‘blacklist’ – effectively blocking American firms from doing business with it. That prompted a host of western companies to halt cooperation with the Chinese giant. In the UK, mobile networks EE and Vodafone have both pulled its 5G handsets from a line-up of new phones they will launch. That was after Google, which makes the Android software used by Huawei’s phones, said it was withdrawing its support. On the same day, British chip maker Arm said it would halt cooperation with Huawei as well – potentially crippling the Chinese firm’s ability to develop new smartphones." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7065123/Chinese-diplomat-warns-Britain-cut-investment-Huawei-blocked-building-5G-network.html

However, this (apparently) means that the Chinese President is personally familiar with all the web sites you visit. And he thinks you are a very naughty boy! Just trying to visualise the Chinese President trying to get to grips with Thunderboat Phil In case he is paying attention, can I order a 42 with side salad.

I use a dongle which gets a signal virtually everywhere. I pay £18 a month for 40gb from Three.

Rog You still have to pay a Netflix subscription, but when you watch tv or films via Netflix and Three, you don’t pay for the data used nor does it decrement your included data. Compared to other such things, I think Netflix has the best quality content and lots of British stuff.

Paul Theroux, in his book Riding the Iron Rooster, in which he spent a year in China, noticed the distinct absence of birds in the sky. This is because the Chinese catch whatever they can get and chuck it in the wok. In Chinese prisons, the prisoners eat any worms they may find in their poo, to survive. All the President has to do is to snap his fingers and the whole of China can flood over to the UK and gobble us all up. Yes, of course I'm being silly - I forgot to say first they cover us in monosodium glutamate and soy sauce.

Talking of movies, I watched Kill Me Three Times last night. Sort of entertaining. Simon Pegg:

If i have enough surplus battery on my phone when on a train or in a public space I like to set up a mobile hotspot with a shockingly rude name and observe peoples reactions when they see it on their devices. Purely out of devilment.
Its quite amusing. Specially on trains which advertise free wifi.
People usually know its me as I do look a bit like a nutter. But they can't prove it (I hope) which makes it better.
