A lot depends on your device, your router, your other router, local interference from your neighbour’s WiFi, your star sign, the phase of the moon, if the groundhog saw his shadow, etc etc. It might work fine sometimes and not fine other times.
Price cap on energy bills, doesn't seem like a terrible idea, cap the maximum cost per unit to something reasonable and stop the non switchers from being ripped off. It would be crazy if they just chose an arbitrary max charge for a year regardless of usage, as it goes against the environmental pressures to reduce usage, and will just mean the energy companies raise prices for the folks who use less. After all, when they set a maximum price for tuition fees, hardly any universities charged the maximum they could get away with...
It is still a per unit cap. The figures being quoted are for the hypothetical average customer. On one hand I like the idea that people won’t be ripped off, but it will mean less discounts for those of us who do change as firms look to maintain profits.
The focus should be on making it simple to swap and highlighting the benefits rather than helping the lazy.

Well, so it seems. That isn't the way it was presented on the news this morning at all. It was very clear that it was a maximum price per year cap, as they stated it!
I bloody love squash. It irritates me that it's not more available. If I want a soft drink, I probably want squash. Not slightly flavoured water, and I don't need someone to give it a fancy name and charge three quid for it. Tesco own brand is fine thanks.
apple and black currant or summer fruits or something dark red for me, tropical is an alright 2nd best, orange I'll make do with, but i'd rather almost anything else (not lemon or other wishy washy flavours)
I knew a couple of American exchange students at Uni. One day they went on a bit of a rant about how sickly and sweet British orange juice was, and how it made them feel sick if they drank too much. After a lot of back and forth, it turned out they were drinking glasses of neat squash.

I noticed the other day that cordial is another one of those things that it says to keep in the fridge once you've opened it. This was never the done thing when we were kids. Did it always say this?

Old school cordial probably had enough sugar in it to stop anything growing. Newfangled stuff might have sweeteners and so be potentially dangerous.
