Things that take a long time to do....

In 1969, Apollo 11 blasted off on 16th July, spent 21 hours on the moon and splashed down 8 days later.

The Snooker World Championships at the Crucible in Sheffield run over 17 days each year.

The 2012 Olympics in London ran from 27th July to 12th August - 17 days in total.

The 2014 Football World Cup ran from 12th June to 13th July - a total of 32 days......which only just beats the 29 days that it took EE to unlock my Samsung phone.

So, the moral of the story is: we can put a man on the moon, but if you ask EE to do a simple thing, expect it to take a little longer - much longer.
