I love working from home. There’s a few small things that are not ideal, but mostly it’s excellent. However, for a couple of weeks each summer it’s even better. That’s when Wimbledon – the tennis tournament – is on. I…

So just now, my Facebook account got suspended. Weird. I was not doing anything, was not even near a computer and none of the devices that I own have Facebook installed. I got this email: When I clicked on the…
