Yep. Thought so.

Wisdom of the ages, young chap. Live long and pester. (You might learn something.)

Maybe but a substantial mileage of BT copper-ware is Victorian and some of the neo classical stuff also wants upgrading so it isn't really news. But it is a sugar coating for the bribe to come. I wonder what that will be.

Something else you have never used but feel the need to comment on then. I can assure you that it is not just vanity being able to tell if someone is lying which you can't do on slow video links. Hence the reason it is used for virtual court appearances.
