I was in the revolving restaurant in November 2023 for a private event hosted by BT and it was working fine then!

Must confess I've never heard of NPPV3 but it seems to be a check which is specific to civilians working for police forces and is separate from both the DBS process and National Security Vetting (which is mainly applicable to the civil service), although is broadly equivalent to SC. From a...

This is a helpful summary of the different levels of clearance, situations where they are required and what sorts of enquiries are carried out https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/united-kingdom-security-vetting-clearance-levels/national-security-vetting-clearance-levels National...

Two independent coffee stalls in Southeastern stations I regularly commute from have both been forcibly closed recently. In both cases the shutters are permanently down with a notice saying the lease has been forfeited and the outlet repossessed by the landlord.

For me it was a voluntary move as I wanted the faster broadband speeds that full fibre provides (or rather my son did for his gaming PC). I had been monitoring the progress of fibre rollout in my area street by street using the detailed coverage maps at www.thinkbroadband.com and I spotted it...

Skimming the forums I do rather get the impression that Plusnet is looking like it might become a bargain-basement, no-frills internet-only provider that will neither offer its own voice service nor the capability for anyone else's to operate alongside it. If so and a voice service is important...
