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/c4ngj6…
Come work with us! @bbcorkney – at Kirkwall, Scotland

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. – at Thurso, Scotland

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. – at Thurso, Scotland

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 – at Scotland, United Kingdom
Dear @OctopusEnergy
