Of course my favourite is Free Public WiFi.
A recent feature on the rise of passive-aggressive wi-fi names prompted a huge response from readers. Here are a few of them.
My friend Lola from Waddinxveen in The Netherlands is an ex US marine and finds it funny to scare her friends down her street with Surveillance Van #2. She says there is a lot of curtain twitching since she renamed her wi-fi – understandably. Nicholas Webster, Dorchester
I’ve seen this network name at two different apartments I’ve lived at, definitely my personal favourite: F.B.I. Surveillance Van.Jacob Bernal
Until recently, our wi-fi connection showed up as PoliceSurveillanceVan, as we thought it would put the wind up the students next door. Now we go by Eric and Ernie – my husband being the one with the short, fat, hairy legs. Rachael Christie, Liverpool
The Beeb seem to have a tenuous grasp of “passive aggressive”, though. Sometimes correct, but not the majority.
