Due to the desire to improve my DSL connection speed to BeThere, I took steps to investigate whether the in-house wiring was adding to the noise-floor on the line.
I thus needed to (re)work out the wiring used in UK PSTN wiring, and found the following resources online:

Jet planes are getting cheap! You can now order a very light twin jet for $1.5m.
