Back to Normality

Image
After the disastrous choice of the British operator VODAFONE as my internet provider , which sent my connectivity back into the dark ages and whose mediocre or non-existent service affected five months of publications (September, October, November, December and January), it is finally possible to bypass the obstacle with the support of an interested party. The return to normality should occur from February 20th, closing with sixteen publications the cycle dedicated to passenger vessels in regular or tourist service on the Tejo River. As a note of interest, partly motivated by this disastrous experience with the British operator VODAFONE, I will soon launch a new digital space –  UNPLEASANT | LX . It will be interesting.

As I wrote in one of several texts published on social media and made known in Berkshire, «[…] the expressive mediocrit

Despite its historical value, the place it occupies in the hearts of successive generations of commuters and with a robustness and reliability that have not been surpassed by more recent constructions, it was not possible to keep the fe
