The taps and the urinals are working fine, but the ladies (and gents wanting to poop) are either having to cross their legs or walk to the toilets in the local shops and restaurants etc. Isn't this one of those things where they legally have to close the office, like when there's no heating in the winter? I'd love to go home... I imagine it’s one of those things where they should legally send you home. But they will never actually do it. And nobody will do anything about it for fear of being frowned at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I'd pulled up outside my sister-in-law's house, a man came running over from the pub opposite and got in the passenger seat. He said something like "You're late, dickhead", but I still hadn't realised he'd got in the wrong car, I thought I was being carjacked. Then he looked at me and said, "You're not here for me". I can't remember if I was already crying at this point, but he got out and went back over to his mates. The thing I found the strangest about the whole thing was that his mates didn't appear rip the piss out of him. I'm sure they saw it, but they just carried on chatting like nothing had happened. I've only just realised he was probably waiting for someone who had some naughty drugs for him, or vice versa. That'd explain why his mates didn't wonder why we hadn't driven off together. And why he didn't put the seat-belt on. More likely he thought you were the Uber he’d ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sneaky They'd be sued into oblivion if someone fell in the toilets and couldn't call for help because of a signal jammer. It's illegal to use jammers in the UK. There won't be jammers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I thought Xela was using 'phone jammers' as a euphemism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 No phone picks up signal in the bogs... soon as you walk out, the signal comes back. I've got 2 phones on different networks and they both drop signal instantaneously. People on other networks say the same. Might just be a deadspot... but odd its the same for all networks. Not sure what else it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work i n place where phones are (in some parts) forbidden by law, and even there there's no jammers- just audio warnings that are triggered when a phone signal is detected "An unauthorised mobile phone has been detected in this area, please switch it off immediately" at deafening volume.

Not sure what else it could be? My flat is like this. Or rather the whole apartment building. Not quite a dead spot, you get a tiny bit of 3G. But as soon as you walk 10 steps outside you get signal again. Frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 If the building is steel framed, has a lot of steel M&E and then they use foil liners on plasterboard or insulation then they may well have accidentally built a sort of Faraday cage. Easier to do in a small room, which coincidentally, a bog would be and would have more M&E to change the air and deal with plumbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 The more I see of Swansea and all things west of Swansea the more I like it. Starting to have ideas of moving out in that direction some time off in the future when we get to that 'downsize' stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
