That is our problem we just lay back and take it, or I should say you, cos I do not and never will, I will not be dictated to by any one, and I think it is about time the people of England started to do the same, Rick

Theres loads of anecdotal evidence and accounts after Manchester and London to name just 2 where phone boxes kept going strong, plus BT bring in their emergency kit

If anyone gets the chance to via local retail or other organizations, go to an Operation Argus presentation. The local counter terrorism bods do it. Very good

the trouble with a solar storm , is it generates a magnetic field of varying intensity ( geomagnetism ) , not only can that effect radio signals , it can also by its very nature effect electrical/electronic equipment to varying intensities also , another problem is when the magnetic field collapses .... but its starting to get a bit heavy now , and ive got some studying to do for my exam
