As an ex* Cov kid yourself you'd know...

The Internet has only just hit Coventry.

ALL our PCs are big, clunky, and powered by steam.

Round here we still point at aeroplanes.

*If you could give me the details on exactly how you escaped, I'd appreciate it :)

I was thrown out
I got a lighter out and sparked up a cigarette just outside Marks & Spencers. The locals saw a strange man making fire from thin air. I think someone shouted: "Warlock!" And before I knew it I was on the outskirts of the city, badly bruised, but alive.

My boyfriend lives in Coventry and doesn't have internet
He's at uni there and his room in halls has never had internet, some of his friends used to, but don't anymore - Coventry's going backwards if that's even possible!

So's everywhere from what I gather.
we used to have a cable network running all over the city (Aberdeen).

Then the last recession ended, the city ended up bloody loaded, and the cable company went bust.
So we're stuck- as a pretty well-off, almost recession-proof ('cos of the oil, y'see) city- with the crappy BT network.
I'm moving back to Dundee. It may be a shithole, but it's a shithole with cheap booze, 20Mbps internets and non-murdoch TV...
