I was on the phone to Virgin today inquiring about the slow internet speeds on my home connection (5-21MBPS against an advertised rate of 100MBPS). Was put through to technical services, who told me that there has been an "outage" in the SE22 area that started 6 March and is expected not to be sorted until June 26. There'd been no notification of this, despite them having my mobile and email details. He did, however, say I would be compensated on future bills, although I wonder whether this would have happened had I not rung up. If anyone else wants to claim as well I suggest they get in touch: the outage reference is F005958405. (He said it was the SE22 area although I am not sure how exact this is)

Yes please, that would be very kind.

My daughter, who is eight years old, is mad keen on drawing and painting, and not bad at it too (or better than I was, anyway). I was wondering about trying to get her an art tutor or art classes (ideally locally) who could give her a few tips on how to improve her drawing techniques etc. Any thoughts welcome...

Hello - did anyone ever get back to you on this? I am in exactly the same position myself...
