It’s ridiculous in this day and age to be paying £11 a month for the privilege of having a fixed phone line in my house that I almost never use! If I’m phoning out, I’ll use my free minutes on my mobile (unless it’s an 0845 number, but I don’t phone £11 worth of those in a month anyway!), so the landline is purely for my dad phoning me. I can make him get Skype, too!

Added benefit: no more stupid bloddy marketing-type phonecalls! Grrr!!
