Peter Rhodes on the wrong town, a thunderous debut and politicians speaking the unspeakable

Yesterday's column ended with me connecting the BT Smart Hybrid kit which, in the event of a broadband fault, switches my service from cable to mobile in a split second. I ended: “I can't wait for calamity to set it all off. Hark, is that thunder...?”
Well, half an hour later, thunder shook the house, my router light changed colour indicating a line problem, the Halo gizmo switched on and the service continued seamlessly. I am impressed.
