You've got to be careful what you write in an advertisement. Unipalm Pipex received a complaint after it claimed that 'for 50p a day, you can access all the knowledge in the world'.
The complainant, from Yorkshire, believed this implied that the Internet 'contained all knowledge' and found this hard to believe.
The Yorkshire lad or lass may have a point. Remember the Scunthorpe scandal?
The Internet censors have already made sure surfers can't get any knowledge from there on the Internet.
