Rural supplies are sufficiently flakey without inviting the supplier to have remote control of individual outlets.

The end game, apart from meter reading manpower savings, is the time of day price variation rendered necessary by over reliance on wind and Sunpower.

The inevitable shift away from coal and gas should have led to new nuclear with as much storage as could be achieved without over upsetting the Welsh and Scots.

Because he is a dinosaur who can't even manage to work out how to answer an incoming call on a iphone even tho it says very clearly, slide to answer.

But you did say that you couldn't work that out with someone else's iphone, and that is why you wouldn't have one.

Actually, no, I didnt. I couldn't work out how to insert a SIM in an I-phone

It's my android phone that doesn't respond to swipe to answer 5 times out of 6.

Yes you did, and I posted a screen shot of that screen to rub your nose in it.

That too. Too stupid to look at the micro manual that tells you how to do that.

You didn't say that the iphone didn't respond, you claimed it wasn't clear how to answer an incoming call.

The micro manual was read 6 times. all it said was 'insert the sim in the phone'

That was the android phone. You are getting senile and forgetting things, and lying, Rodders.

Of course. Not been a 'jock' on here for years and he claims to remember conversations on here a year ago.

And you were too stupid to google it.

Nope.

Nope. Too lazy to use groups google to prove you are wrong, because its so f***ed.

I don't think the micro-manual is relevant. I'm sure that I turned on my iPhone 6S and first thing, it gave instructions how to insert the SIM. Use a paperclip (unfolded) and insert it here (diagram) on the side, and press. This releases a little tray into which you insert the SIM (diagram). Then push the little tray closed until it clicks. End of.

my phone came with a little tool to use instead of wrecking a paper clip.

I am absolutely sure that this one did not

And the paper instructions certainly did not say 'switch on and follow on screen instructions'

I had to go online to answer the fundamental question.

This phone came with the clip, but no instructions as to what it was for.

Yep.

Nope, the iphone comes with the thing you use.

and insert it here (diagram) on the side, and

Yep, he is so stupid he couldn't even manage that.

Or even google it if he managed to ignore the startup display on its screen.
