No, really.
Like, sometimes, places have freely advertised free wifi access.
Yes, I know: most coffee shops and pubs do, these days: so does Brentwood library, in point of fact.
As does the office block, around the corner from mine. As it turns out … !
Just so you know, there’s a small office block around the corner from my place: I’m in Rollason Way, the office block is in Saint James Road.
Just there, so you know.
Now, that office block has been empty since it was built, three or four years ago.
I think, now, though, the lease has been taken up: by — I believe — a charity called LTF.
No, I have no idea, either.
But at any rate … ?
Thy had posters up, advertising the fact they had a free wifi access point: how comprehensive a wifi point, I don’t know: but I managed to briefly managed to access the net, through my iPod, whilst standing outside the building.
The signal even seems to stretch to the junction with Rollason Way/WharfRoad/Saint James Road.
How long THAT will last, I don’t know.
But it seems a useful bit of information to mention.
At any rate, there’s another thing I want to get off my chest.
You’ve possibly been following my blog for a while.
But just so you know — if you’re new — I’m in a socially rented flat in Brentwood, one that’s, both nice and very roomy.
But, like most rented property, if there’s a problem, I have to report to my landlord for them to repair.
That’s not usually a problem, even if they DO take their time.
But, a couple of week ago, a window in the building’s main door was broken. I think one of my neighbours like a drink or two of a Saturday: and was a touch heavy handed, closing the door.
Smashing the door’s bottom pane as a result.
As a result … ? Our landlord’s rep was informed: although it’s taken a while, that pane still hasn’t been repaired.
Then last night happened.
I don’t know who it was, but the same neighbour came in after the pubs shut — about 11·20, so you know — and VERY noisily, went upstairs.
Leaving that bottom pane in an even worse state. I’ve had a very gentle feel of it. One good push, and we’ll have a nice big hole at the bottom of the door.
Understandably, I’m going to be emailing my landlord.
If any thing happens … ?
I’ll let you know …
