What follows is a personal opinion on their content: 3: 'BBC Prime' alternates with 'BBC World' during the day and evening, and 'Discovery' is on from 11pm until early morning. The island therefore has well-informed moths. 'BBC Prime' features all the trashiest output BBC television has to offer. If you like soap opera, cheap sit-coms, and lacklustre "dramas", based in hospitals or in police situations, you'll love it. 'BBC World' is the World Service with pictures. 2: I don't watch sport so I can only report what I hear - it would be OK if they didn't frequently switch over from the match you are watching to something else before the final whistle, so you never find out who won. 1: 'M-Net' is for those who find 'BBC Prime' too intellectually challenging. 'Series' is for those who find 'M-Net' too intellectually challenging. There are many good things about St.?Helena. Television isn't one of them.

I have no intention of spending my time on the island glued to the TV, which by the sounds of things seems just as well having read what there is to offer, but the ashes is just one of those things i feel the need to keep in touch with. I am sure there will be radio broadcasts which will be more than ample if it is not being televised. In relation to the BBC only proffering their trashiest programmes, I fear that they are supplying the best they have- the Corporation seems to have rather nosedived in recent years. It is not just St Helena that has programmes of the calibre you described thrust upon it. (one does get to learn a lot about hospitals and police stations though). thanks again Clifford >From: "John Turner, Bank of St. Helena" >Reply-To: john.turner@sainthelenabank.com, "All about St. Helena - The >Island in the South Atlantic(Eng)" >To: "'All about St. Helena - The Island in the South >Atlantic(Eng)'" >Subject: RE: [STHELENA] RE: List Digest, Vol 12, Issue 8 >Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2005 16:25:31 -0000 > >There are three TV channels available, as follows: > >1: Shared between 'M-Net' and 'Series'. >2: SuperSport >3: BBC / 'Discovery'. > >What follows is a personal opinion on their content: > >3: 'BBC Prime' alternates with 'BBC World' during the day and evening, and >'Discovery' is on from 11pm until early morning.

Now i have found this mailing list I very much hope to embroil myself in those weighty matters that we both spoke of. Before I get to St Helena I want to learn an awful lot more about the island. So far I have had to subsist on the one meagre guide-book in existence and rather a lot of writings on Napolean which all seem to portray the island in a rather demeaning manner. Obviously, I think there to be rather more to the location, or else I would be ensconsing myself there for a month. In response to Lyoyd's question, I am getting to Ascension on 25th July and get to St Helena about the 1st August. I am afraid I know nothing about the Lloyd's of St Helena, but I would be happy to enquire whilst there and let you know. For Pam, whose email I have just got: West Indies may not be the best team in the world at the moment, but they still have the greatest legends that the game has produced and they will not be eclipsed for many decades to come.

Also, http://www.news.co.sh/ has electronic copies of the local weekly paper - to get an idea of current affairs The links on both these sites will lead to several other sites http://notesfromsthelena.blogspot.com/ is also a good one. One or two contributions mentioned frivolous enquiries. I do not know if there is a link however .... I trust my brief answer to your enquiry did not lead you to think I was 'brushing you off'. When I'm busy [as I was at that time], being brief and to the point is a habit I fall in to. During one of my visits to SH there was a Rugby Union international in Europe followed immediately by another Rugby international from the southern hemisphere. I cannot remember which countries were involved but it was at a time when southern hemisphere teams had the upper hand. The difference in playing style and mental attitude was very obvious. I remember watching domestic South African cricket for lengthy periods - when the prime motivation was to find shade from the sun. Don't forget - St Helena time is GMT. Matches will be televised at sensible times The sports channel appears to give equal coverage to internationally important matches no matter what part of the globe the match is coming from. In cricket, nothing is more important than England v. Australia That is why I am confident there will be full coverage. Cable & Wireless seem to rule the roost regarding TV coverage on the island. One of their website addresses is http://www.helanta.sh/st_helena_site.htm To add to John Turner's comments on the TV available on St Helena. IF you have an interest in sport, the sports channel has the highest intellectual standard.

The island is a collection of hills and valleys, so you would need a lot of base stations. We have three TV transmitters to my certain knowledge, and that still doesn't achieve 100% coverage. This all adds to the costs. C&W charges 10p/minute for internet access and ?1/minute for international calls. I cannot begin to imagine how much they would charge for mobile phone calls. Their argument is that, for a population of 4000 people, there are no economies of scale. I imagine the costs would be such that the average resident couldn't afford one (an unskilled manual worker here earns ?60/week). When we have hoards of tourists arriving each week through the new airport it may become viable. I hope that helps. Anyway, who needs the damn things? All they ever do is interrupt what you are doing. In the 12-or-so years I had one I think it proved really useful about twice. The rest of the time it was either ringing when I didn't want it to; flat; or out of transmitter range.

I agree with you John, they are a pain in the bum, and serve very little practical purpose. They (or rather their users) are so annoying. I heard a great story on Radio 2 here in the UK recently about an elderly gentleman who was travelling from London to Brighton on a packed commuter train. Sat oppersite him was a yuppie, talking into his mobile phone so loudly that his conversation is annoying passengers in the next carriage. Eventually the yuppie hangs up and the elderly gentleman asks him about his phone. The yuppie makes a big thing about how he is so indespensible that he "had" to get one etc etc etc. "looks very expensive to me" says the elderly gentleman "yeah, cost a packet, but I got deal on it blah blah blah" says the yuppie. "but what if you were to lose it?" enquired the elderly gentleman "No worries" replies the yuppie "it's well insured cos I got a deal from the shop" "Excelent" replies the elderly man, as he threw the phone out of the window! Some how I do not think my eldest daughter would be able to survive without a mobile phone. Like so many vane teenagers she "has" to be seen with a phone in her hand in order to be considered "Crucial" by her friends and peers etc. Plus she assures me that she has to have the right phone, just like she has to have the right baseball cap etc. However it causes me great amusement to see her walking down the road talking to her phone and trying to bluff her friends that she has credit on her phone, when I know full well she hasn't I think she wuld probably self combust if she had to start using phone boxes again Jon Dingey East London Correspondant ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Turner, Bank of St. Helena" To: ; "'All about St. Helena - The Island in the South Atlantic(Eng)'" Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 5:43 PM Subject: RE: [STHELENA] Chartered Accountant Needed...... > The 'authorities' in question would be Cable and Wireless, as island > telecoms are provided exclusively by the private sector. > > The island is a collection of hills and valleys, so you would need a lot > of > base stations.
