Did you Know ?

Squirrels have caused thousands of telecommunications outages worldwide by chewing through fibre and power cables. Some network operators even maintain internal logs tracking "squirrel incidents" because they occur often enough to be a recognised operational risk.

As many of you know, I've recently taken the plunge and started my own business — and I couldn't be more excited about it!
Better Call Col is my local IT support service based right here in Gloucester. Whether it's a poorly PC, dodgy Wi-Fi, a scary scam, or just needing someone patient enough to help with technology — that's exactly what I'm here for.
I would absolutely love it if you could take 30 seconds to:
👉 Follow my new page — Better Call Col
👉 Give it a like
👉 And most importantly — SHARE it with anyone you think might need my help
You all know me. You know I'll give everything I've got to help anyone who needs it. That's exactly what Better Call Col is built on.
I'm not asking for much — just a follow and a share means the world to a new small business trying to get off the ground.
Every single share could reach someone who genuinely needs help and doesn't know where to turn.
Thank you all so much in advance. You're the best. 🙏

The world’s first smartphone — the IBM Simon, released in 1994 — had a battery life of just one hour!
It could send emails and faxes, but you’d better keep the charger close.
