    I think this is one of the few things as late that makes me feel genuinely proud to be British, because, beneath the hostility that feels so rife across our country recently, we’ve so many good people making things like this happen. Bravo.

    Amazing! Tristan’s entire website is a treasure. It’s a throwback to when the web was great.

      Agreed. The story is great, too. A really interesting logistical challenge that arose from unusual circumstances.

      There's probably something to be said for the fact that TDC is a small, remote community, so it shouldn't be surprising that its website is reminiscent of a smaller, more communal web... but I'm not going to try to read too much into it and let the story stand on its own.

    I thought this was going to be an iOS story.

      You did? What did you make of the word "daring" and the name "Tristan da Cunha"?
