I'm sitting in the cafe area of the local sports centre waiting for my son to finish his swimming lesson. I've just paid best part of a fiver for a soggy oatmeal biscuit and a cup of tea that needs an industrial press to squeeze any sort of colour out of the tea bag let alone any flavor.
So this experience is dull to say the least (bit like my tea) so what do I do? I dig out the iphone and do some browsing, maybe check some emails, twitter or facebook.
Can't get a 3G signal so let's see what wifi is on offer... it then proceeds to tell me it's £3.50 for an hour of browsing ... Three pounds bloody fifty are you havin a tin bath? I don't understand it. I don't understand when any type of "public sit down relax cup of tea" environment doesn't offer free wifi. I've been offering free wifi for nearly 3 years now. I've always needed it for the business, broadband was an overhead we had even before it was available over wifi and it's dramatically come down in cost over the years. So to charge £3.50 is a blatant piss take. So I'm sat watching that small white catherine wheel of a timer going round and round and round...
