The maps are rubbish alright. I think that's why they are so willing to do 30 day trials. Strictly speaking we should have 3G here but a mix of houses, hills and trees mean it only works in one place in the garden!

Im living in a so called o2 broadband hotspot according to o2 maps. in the centre of Tramore. Broadband coverage is dreadfully intermittenet. I have absolutly zero percent 3g coverage and must connect using gsm only which is the speed of dial up. Don't be fooled by o2 maps like I was.

Of course it's just been pointed out to me on Twitter that any mention of this kind of thing online looks like spam. This must be a huge problem for the genuine companies out there. Siobhan - You'll cry when you see how cheap generic clarityn is over there compared to here.

I had the same problem! Have used drugstore.com for years, but since they didn't ship directly to Switzerland (needed a third-party) I only used them when I was home. I will go back and try again. Glad I stumbled upon your Twitter.

I had the same concerns the first time so just made a small order. It worked so well, I keep upping the order level! It sure as hell beats coming back from the US with 20 boxes of OTC meds from Walgreens or CVS in my suitcase :-) Just waiting for some Irish pharmacists to get their buddies in the corridors of power to block this eventually tho.

thanks very much for the information Conor. I had been wondering if I could trust drugstore.com for some OTC stuff that's only available in the 'states. it's great to get a personal recommendation. (which also came thru' twitter. drugstore.com just gained a new customer as a result of twitter. irish companies take note!).

Some comments from <a href="http://twitter.com/paraic" rel="nofollow">@paraic</a> on Twitter which are worth adding here: * A plan * A budget * KPIs * No tech w/o process improvement * Shared services... I should also have mentioned the critical role of the <a href="http://www.lgcsb.ie/" rel="nofollow">LGCSB</a> for local government involvement in all of this.
