    For this scenario to be true I would need to go back in time, speak to my colleague in England and say "Hey, don't email me those files, I predict I will have internet access problems when I get to Germany, please mail them to me on a USB stick at your expense".

    HTH.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

      You could still have email or ftp access but no web access.
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Indisputably. You're inability to interpolate the obvious is akin to most other posters on here so don't feel bad.

          The client does not have a working wifi I can use as it's a German bank.

          You reckon.

          So, what did you know before you set off to DE

          wifi probs last year... check
          wifi requested but not confirmed... check
          client has no working wifi... check

          You were posting on here so could easily have logged in to the web frontend of your personal email and forwarded the email to someone local, no?

          You couldn't easily have downloaded the files that were so critical before leaving?

          In short, tinterweb access at client co was known to be iffy and you failed to have a plan b in place.

              Has anyone checked urban dictionary for the definition yet?

              I totally bengered myself at work today.

              I'd uploaded my SQL tutorial to the Personal Online Repository Network Hub or pornhub site as it's known but I couldn't access it from a German bank. They say it's adult content. What, is SQL supposed to be for kids now. Who could have seen that happening!

                Aside from the two blatant inaccuracies I have highlighted in bold, it is certainly my fault for not having a plan B.

                I trust you spent your Christmas break planning for every eventuality in your first week back?

                  I'll give you the Remote access not Wifi request one but the no working wifi at german bank was in the quote above.

                  But pedantics aside it wouldn't have taken that much effort to plan. I assume you've packed enough pants for the trip.

                    I do. And my wife also packed my Mankini. I am serious.

                      That's because she is hoping you won't come back.
