Lack of wifi threatens Barry's holiday social media updates

Bad broadband abroad threatens Barry Jones’s important daily Facebook photo update, says a whining text from Barry.

Lack of wifi threatens Barry's holiday social media updates

Jones, holidaying in Malaga with girlfriend Carrot, observed that their Errbnb has no wifi, forcing the couple to access the web via a broken router in a nearby café.

The connection’s poor quality means that it will be almost impossible for Barry and Carrot to continue to provide the world with twenty-seven photographs of their legs each day. “I can’t get on Instagram either,” said Barry, visibly upset.

“I didn’t know that foreign was going to be as difficult as this. I’ll definitely just go to Westfield for a few days next year. You can buy really cool phone cases and donuts.”

Well-wishers have flooded Barry and Carrot with gifts since this story’s first publication in the Daily Racist. Contributions include four parcel bombs, a wheel of very ripe camembert and a bottle of vodka with a shit in it.
