Not to mention access to loads of services, information, and (increasingly) discounts and reductions on utilities. Anyway I’m doing some research into the area so if you know anything about it or anyone who knows anything about it, shoot me some info! I’m hoping this might turn into my next big thing, but it’s very early days yet..."
