  ...the provision seems to be through BT OpenZone, based
on what appeared on the "local wireless networks" list that
I hadn't seen before. I didn't get to connect successfully,
however, because while I was assured things "should just
work", any attempt at web access got redirected to a login
page*. On a second visit the network wasn't even available
to compare experience - presumably they'd turned it off
because it wasn't "just work"ing for people.

* administrator password for first access and direct
external connection thereafter, presumably, and the staff
weren't informed of this?
