Have you / can you easily get cable TV? Have a shufti (peckham / delboy
speak) round your flat for a cable TV box.

If you can, and can afford £33/month, then you probably can get a cable
modem from www.blueyonder.co.uk I think there is a TV/modem promotional
package as well which can save you quite a bit.

Apologies if I'm telling a grandmother how to suck eggs / connect their
computer.

Also apologies for calling you a grandmother.
