21 months later and @GNetworkComms still don't offer fibre on our street.

Meanwhile Openreach have pulled fibre to the premises without digging anything up.

Unsure what the noise and disruption was for, @wandbc

[Ciaran McNulty @CiaranMcNulty]

We are getting fibre but the street is not looking great

@MaxProgramming1 @vocaboticsai Back in those days you dropped straight into a text prompt where you could write code.

You had to do something extra to load a program.

Nowadays it's the reverse - you boot into a rich UI and have to dig to install an IDE

I do wonder what difference that makes!

About 38-39? I remember writing BASIC as soon as I got my Amstrad
