The call went something like this:-“Sir, I am calling from British Telecom to tell you about a virus on your computer”No genuine UK call agent would start a sentence with “Sir”. They also wouldn’t say “British Telecom”, they’d just say “BT”I responded with “But I live in the city of Kingston-upon-Hull, BT has no network presence in this area, my phone and internet service is provided by a company called KCOM”“Sir, you live in the UK, of course we at British Telecom provide your internet service”Me: “I suggest you google KCOM and remove any Kingston-upon-Hull phone numbers from your database as you are wasting your time”“Sir, you are incorrect, you are a British Telecom customer”Me: “I am the senior Internet infrastructure consultant at KCOM, part of my job is to design wholesale products to allow competitors to provide service via our network. BT have no customers on our network, trust me” (This was all true at the time)“Sir, let me just google KCOM………oh fuck CLICK”

Thanks for the A2A.Over half of the Co-19 deaths in Canada have been in nursing homes. As near as I can tell, most all of those have been in private, for profit, institutions.The City of Ottawa operates nursing homes. The last I heard, no infections, no deaths.A private, for-profit, home near the city has had over 20 deaths at last count— sometimes 3 or 4 a day.And the real horror stories have come out of privately-operated homes in Quebec.The last I heard, a non-profit Catholic charity out of Kingston that has several nursing homes and at least one group home for mentally-handicapped adults had had no infections and no deaths. [EDIT: They have now posted one resident has tested positive. EDIT2: That has now been revealed as a false positive.]My mother is in a government-run nursing home in Alberta. As of this morning, they have had two infections and one death. She has tested negative. This is in a small town that has more cases than the City of Edmonton, with a million people. 30 minutes away, a private home has had deaths well into the double digits.Is there a pattern of failure here?

“Why is the London Bridge called the London Bridge? Is it because it's in London?”Basically, yes.“But!” I hear you say, “There are loads of bridges in London; why is just that one called London Bridge?”London Bridge links the City of London on the north side of the Thames to the London Borough of Southwark on the south side of the Thames. The boundary of the City is on the Southwark side of the bridge, so the bridge itself is in the City of London (there are dragons at the end of the bridge to keep disreputable Southwark types out, in place of the gates that used to be shut at sunset and have heads on spikes on them; the dragons are more civilised). For centuries it was the only bridge across the Thames in London; until Putney Bridge (which is in Putney; we’re consistent with our bridge naming) was built in 1729 it was the only road crossing on the Thames below Kingston.It’s important to bear in mind that there’s more than one meaning to “London”. “London” in the London Bridge sense is referring to the City of London, the original city and about a square mile in area. “London” in more general usage means not only the City of London, but also the City of Westminster and the 32 London Boroughs, which together give you Greater London.Putney was not, in 1729, part of London. Putney is still not part of the City of London, though it is within Greater London. More bridges have sprung up since, some even in the City of London (e.g. Blackfriars Bridge, Southwark Bridge, though not Tower Bridge, which is just downstream of the City), but London Bridge remains the original bridge that got you into London from South of the River. Every morning thousands of people walk over it from London Bridge Station to get to work in the City, and every evening thousands walk back.There have been bridges on approximately the same site since Roman times (the fact that there was a site that Roman construction methods could build a bridge on is basically why Londinium was built where it was; previous Celtic tribal settlements were all slightly further upstream where there were some usable fords).At least one of the previous bridges fell down (hence the song, though there’s debate as to which particular iteration of the bridge the song’s on about), and we sold one to an American (who was almost definitely not under the impression that he was getting Tower Bridge; you don’t become rich enough to buy a bridge and ship it across the Atlantic without learning the importance of due diligence).
