Weekend - again...!

Image
Remember this..? It was also a TV Series in Britain , a long time ago. Clochemerle is a word game in France resembling the word for "nightmare" which is certainly what this weekend will be for millions of tourists, all setting off at the same time....! Good luck ! This is what a tourist, already in place, photographed last week - You can find this at the birthplace of Pope Clemence - at "St. Gilles" in the Gard - residence of mrlemarquis. And - it's hypnotising what people invent........ For example - the bike when you don't know where to go.......nor in which direction! Have a nice weekend.....!

Ofcom found that one in five internet users receives less that 2Mbit/s Ofcom slams ISPs over misleading speed claims Actual broadband speeds are much slower than those advertised, says watchdog Rosalie Marshall V3.co.uk , 28 Jul 2009 Ofcom has released research showing that UK broadband customers receive speeds that are significantly slower than those advertised by providers. The average speed advertised by broadband providers is 7.1Mbit/s, but the telecoms regulator revealed in the UK Broadband Speeds 2009 Research Report (PDF) that the actual average in April this year was 4.1Mbit/s.

Another new thing from Google-to help you-and me...!

Image
Image by Getty Images via Daylife Where will it all end? Google have come up with another, useful thing! No doubt, some will say it's dangerous - Google will know absolutely everything about us, but if you think about it, it's most certainly NOT in their interests to display what they've got about you - they would be broke, in prison or dead before very long. This one is called " Google Health " and you can read about it and start using it here (just click on the words "Google Health" below).

The Harry Ramsden's story started small, but with big ambitions, in 1928 when his first takeaway outlet opened in a hut in Guiseley, Yorkshire. His top quality fish and chips brought customers visiting from all over.

The man himself was a stickler for quality, and today we're committed to maintaining his impeccable standards, providing affordable fish and chips and working with suppliers using responsible fishing practices. Our menu features traditional favourites, Cod and Haddock, alongside a wide choice of alternatives
