Would you like this?
Hell or heaven? Villagers in communications 'black hole' - with no landline, mobile or broadband | the Daily Mail
Besides the safety aspect - Would you like this? To live in an area where there is no mobile phone coverage, no broadband intermittent phone access. What peace!!! The only thing i'd miss is accyweb and the rest of the forums i go on!

Re: Would you like this?
What a nightmare. I'd hate it, even for a day.

Re: Would you like this?
My parents live in a one street village in Scotland, lovely little place but it bores me silly. So I voted No, but not because I would miss Accyweb.

Re: Would you like this?
I cant vote as there isn't an option saying just no. I would live without accyweb but I use the internet for my studies, so life would be too hard without it.

No chance! It would be suicidal for me to tell Willow that she must go without her daily waffle!

Re: Would you like this?
For a holiday I wouldn't mind. We've done it in the past, but I couldn't live like that. I'd feel cut off from life.

Re: Would you like this?
I would miss Accrington. Been thinking this a lot when considering how moving away to university is just around the corner. I love the grotty hole for it's grotty hole-ness.
However; I would love the 'black hole'. Getting away from the inevitable rat race, gaining the ability to hear myself think? Yes please. |
