The Dark Wob

Tbf they don't have any countries from Eastern Europe on there either.

Buy a French/Spanish/German/whatever SIM card and register with that?

You can register on there if you live in Guadeloupe out in the Carribean but not the UK which is just a few miles away. I may have to byt my google translate French isn't the best so I dobt they will have a clue what I am going on about.

JUST TYPE LOUDER AND SLOWER!

I did look into that but you need to have an address in france to buy a burner sim unlike here.

I'll have a go this afternoon, not sure if they will allow me in from Spain.

Why? The Norwegians can run it how they like*

You might have grounds to grumble if the UK wasn't a "third country", but it is. I'd have grounds being in the EU, but they're probably out of scope of the EU e-commerce regs.

Guadeloupe may be out in the Caribbean, but it's definitely a French Department and Region. Same for the few others the dark side of nowhere on the list.
The rest have land borders with France.

e.g. I could argue that Sobrico were discriminating against me when I was buying something because they made it a right pain in the hole to shoehorn my address into their website with their system biased towards French address formatting.

Maybe I should complain to Ming about that as my MEP.

To me it's a purely Irish thing for some politicians to run on their nickname middle names.

He’s gone quiet. Maybe, jumped over to some other form of social media?
