Plan is TopUp and Go.  Its pre-paid at £15 per 1GB.  I will have to top up
when it runs out.  Advantage of this particular plan is that you can take a
long as you like to use up the data allowance, provided you make use of it
at least once every 180 days.  I don't think you can get this plan now but I
managed to find old stock in a Tesco store.  It is probably the phone number
that actually identifies the precise terms of the plan.
