Scotland’s more remote islands, including some here in Orkney, are changing rapidly. It was great to speak to Malcolm and Jackie Sinclair for this article and tie it in with the Islands Future conference I attended last month #orkney bbc.com/news/articles/…

Fantastic trail run on the west coast of Mainland Orkney. Very windy but spectacular enough to take your breath away. #orkney #running

@EE @bt_uk @skytv If you are called by BT and offered a new contract to stop you leaving to a competitor, be careful. 5 months later you could be like me - paying MUCH MORE than if I’d joined @skytv and for services I do not even use, and wasted hours of pointless talking with BT agents.

@EE @bt_uk @skytv BT has all of my contact details but agents say they can’t call me back and often keep me on the phone for over an hour while they generate a new contract. When it is rejected by the BT system NO ONE does anything until I call back. It’s terrible terrible service.

Early last September a customer agent from @EE @bt_uk offered me a £32.99 broadband and phone package which I accepted. Now it’s Feb, they are still charging me more than £80 for services I do not use #BT #EE #CustomerServiceFail

Hi @SmartEnergyGB why is it this hard to get a smart meter in #Orkney? Folk here probably have most to gain from #smartmeter tech because mostly all Electric houses with high percentage of domestic renewables. But they are like hens teeth! #energytransition

@OctopusEnergy I already have a heat pump and solar panels and I’m thinking about batteries. I’d love a smart meter but there’s never any availability in my area #Orkney. Why is that? And when will it change?
