But then Stiperstones village has always been at the forefront of such efforts. At one time there was an official scheme under which, if you went into the pub and asked about web access, they would hand you a laptop across the bar.

Back in 2008, when the BritBlog Roundup was a thing, I took advantage of it to compile an edition there.
