Thread Name: BS: GOOD news
Subject: RE: BS: GOOD news
Both our house phones are what's called "POTS" (Plain Old Telephone System) in the trade, and were powered from the exchange, as methinks I've wittered on about at length elsewhere; we do have mobile phones, but they're old and unreliable (like us). I'll investigate getting a UPS at some point, but I *think* the local power problem has been solved: the last flashover blew a hole in the verge, so (GOOD news) they couldn't ignore it any longer.

Excellent news about your underwriter, Stilly.
