    Good stuff. If you use it properly, by monitoring your energy usage, the process for which will be made much easier now, and make savings where necessary, it'll save you a lot of dosh

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I genuinely don’t get the point of what 3 words. OK so it tells you where you are or where you need to be, but doesn’t help you get there!

    Frankly I prefer the rude four word version - FourKingMaps: https://www.fourkingmaps.co.uk

    I presume you’re joking, but most police forces endorse What 3 Words, and many lives have now been saved by it - but of course, if you’re in the middle of nowhere up a fell or something and need mountain rescue to find you or broken down in the dark on a country road it’s only any good if you can actually get mobile internet to give them the code...

    It is however brilliant for us for delivery drivers, as normal satnavs place our postcode in the middle of a field about a mile away...

    The emergency services are aware, and help is on the way After a category 1 call that's just come in (fondling angry bulls balls).

    I've heard paramedicas are using this, and probably other emergency services, so surely the ability to get to a 'What 3 Words' location would be part of the app? I'm hoping so, as i could find that quite handy.

    Earlier this week i went to fit a window at a house out in the sticks which had a pet peeve of mine, ie a house name rather than a number. The house in question ('Pop Hall Barn') meant nothing to my sat nav, just a post code. When my sat nav told me "You have arrived", and I clearly hadn't, I asked a woman walking her dog for directions (no sniggering Macca) she told me the house was about a mile further on.

    'What 3 Words' would be handy, but only if everyone adopted it.

    Funny name for a house

    Anyway, I wouldn't need sat nav for your house, I'd just locate the brown river (a well-known geographical feature in Wrexham)and follow it upstream
