I was thinking that entwisi, I have my phone and BB with BT, which runs out on average at £100 every three months, depending on how much I use the phone during the day, nights and weekends are free

The weakness of the pound will probably help us out of the recession and make it a little less worse. With other currencies so strong against the pound, imports are very expensive for us. However, it means our exports are very cheap for other countries, so they choose our products, which will probably keep our economy afloat and avert more job losses than there would have been.

Of course it also makes Gordon Browns debt smaller because its worth less.

the rate to day i dont think it will get better with whats going on with the banks and the charge,s as they are.

Its about the same for me Roy. My line rental with Telefonica is 19.60, Internet with Direct Telecom is 38.50 and as I get cheap calls with them add another ten euros on.

Nowhere else to go though.
