Janet and John are enjoying a short break in Spain, where the weather is glorious. In the past John has had Internet connection to keep on top of his work related e-mails. On this trip he has paid the 30 Euro charge for seven days, Janet wonders what he is going need the Internet for bearing in mind he has recently retired. Nevertheless she is more than happy as it means she will be able to keep up with her e-mails and any Ebay purchases. They are only a few days into their holiday and John without his numerous e-mails to answer has discovered the world of Facebook. He does not fully understand how it works but is fascinated by the ability to contact ’Friends’. To date he has had to ask for help to delete a Friend who he had no idea who they were but  felt he may have been committed to for life! His son who has been bombarded with e-mails is threatening to ban him from the Internet and his daughter-in-Law is being plagued by comments which suggest that John has been inhabiting another world and is not familiar with Facebook etiquette. She could be charitable and humour him but with the threat of him opening a Twitter account imminent,  supporting a total ban may be the safest option!
