Returning from my latest trip abroad today I reflected on a strange world that we now live in where getting accross seas is easier than going half way accross the country- why o why can\u2019t there be flights from London to Liverpool or Hull I ask myself?<\/p>\n
We live in a global village where those who live in cities can hop between them like stepping on a bus (and trust me in London you could be in most European cities by air by the time your bus got half way accross the City)<\/p>\n
And one more weird anominaly is that when roaming abroad one has the choice of many different mobile phone providers. As I drove accross the country I was in earlier today it took me longer than the flight home, but as we rounded corners into blind spots for one network my phone just switched networks. I counted three different names of network! My colleages who actually had to live and work there couldnt get coverage for love nor money. I want international roaming in the UK. I want the networks to agree to share each others masts like different banks ATMS have interoperability agreements. Then I won\u2019t be in a train and loose my signal every five minutes!<\/p>\n
How we all long to be connected these days. How frustrated was I not to be able to get my email working whilst abroad! And yet how lonely are many business people who arent as lucky as me to have a family to come back to.<\/p>\n
My daughter said to me today that I am lucky to be on airplanes so often and I guess I am. I feel much luckier to be at home with those I love though.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
