Probably customer specific, maybe containing identifying information, and therefore not to be posted here.

Perhaps they will even consider doing some work on it to emphasise their credentials as defenders of the rights of the public (if they are not too busy ...perhaps)

I have received an e-mail from the author in response to my comment. She promises to get in touch shortly. Will keep you all posted.

I did not add the Virgin web address as I thought that it was directly linked to my phone call which if you click on it now seems to have been the case!

I'd recommend that the best route to the main entrance is from the barbican tube, but go right to the end of Beech street and turn right as per the map. The other routes involve going through the labyrinth.
Is it worth staying until 5?

I've updated the Flyer to include addresses for the House of Commons and BT on the back if you want to print it two-sided. I've also included a few small suggested amendments:

And I've updated the Factsheet, again with a few small amendments:

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
I've just had an e-mail from Virgin Media asking for feedback on a potential new service they are thinking of offering; online storage of personal files (photos, music, videos, backup files).
I don't usually respond to such messages, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to let them know that I would not use any such service if they launch Phorm/Webwise, for the specific reason that once such snooping was underway, I would have absolutely no faith in the security or privacy of my personal data transmitting across or stored on their network.
It's a minor side issue, I know, but in the words of the great satan of supermarkets, "every little helps" - perhaps if enough people cite Phorm as a reason not to trust such services, it'll come to the attention of policymakers at VM.

Well the finishing time is not absolute, but I expect I will still be there until 5ish so people are welcome to protest all day or come at different times of the day which are most convenient for them.
I will update the event page in a little while with the extra info you have added.
Thanks

Could we use this for a URL to a page aimed at webmasters?
Would they look it up?

Virgin Customers
Anyone else experiencing strain on your connection (no stm)? Also anyone else notice a change to their ubr?
Also, interesting topic in the NG Feedback thread - a senior VM Employee has shown his head, which only seems to happen when something is hinted at.
Alex
I'll get that sent to you tomorrow, pm me you email please.

Yes, the connection has been frustratingly slow lately, and I am definitely not STM'ed.
Remind me how to check my UBR.... OK sorted.

Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
Is anyone going to bite the bullet and be the first person to post a video to the YouTube Video Petition group I set up? Go on give it a go, you know you want to and it should be a laugh at the very least.
There is some info on how to do it here:
https://nodpi.org/forum/on-topic/you...-group/page-1/
I will try to get one done by the end of the week and would have done one already but I am so damn busy with everything else I just haven't had a chance.
I would love to see what people come up with, I suspect many will be quite amusing and it would add a bit of fun to an otherwise very serious topic.
So go on, give it a go.
Once some start to appear I will add them to the new site in rotation using the YouTube video API.
