Hi Alec,

Just a last thing on decentralisation. I think it does make a difference where things are because not everything can be done virtually. Also, Bertie doesn't get to change the meaning of words. Almost everyone in Ireland thinks that we've been promised decentralisation when all we've actually been promised is relocation of the same central government departments.

As for O2, I think the best we can all do is vote with our feet as it were. Don't pay O2 the exorbitant rates and continue to use hacked iPhones. I wonder if it would actually be cheaper to get one up north and roam all the time?

Bart.
