I believe it is, but I've never gone inside one.

I was outside a Burger King the other day (again, not inside) and got a
free signal. Pubs often have free wifi too- I believe Starbucks too-
though it used to be paid for, and might still be. Free wifi isn't
ubiquitous in the UK, but it's relatively common.

Burger King too! That sounds good.

The only thing I'm not sure of, (Because I'm far from a computer
expert), is how to send mail. Do you have to stay on the main server,
like Yahoo? If you download your mail to say, Outlook, it's erassed
from the server, right? Now if you want to answer or forward, you
would need to know the McDonalds or Burger King Pop Server name,
right?

One thing we do with it: email ourselves good-quality scans of
important documents like passports and insurance policies, so
we can get at them from anywhere no matter what we lose. (Our
insurance brokers hadn't heard of people doing that before, so
maybe it's not as widely known a practice as it should be).
