I am down here in Nemesis country, Woking in Surrey visiting my brother, he lives in Horsell Park, anywhere near you Nem?
When I left Oldham the Olympic interactive was working perfectly, smooth and fast. He is also with Ntl and the service down here is pants (Langley) the interactive does not work at all, he phoned Ntl to be told they had a "server problem" that was almost cetainly not going to be fixed in the near future. Thank goodness for the Manchester ex C&W infrastructure.
You see it is not so grim "Up North"
