You've never experienced an outage?

not in recent years, and if my personal connection has any issues theres always a wifi in range

You're one of the lucky ones to have a stable connection.

When mine goes down, I tether to my cell phone which has 250GB available for emergencies.

you must know quite well the state of internet infrastructure in the UK is quite poor

however in larger cities i've not experienced much trouble. i'm assuming you must be in a rural area if cut-outs are a side dish for you with an emergency data sim at hand?

Yes I'm aware of UK's Infrastructure.

It's not the best but then again, It's not exactly the worst.

No, I reside In a well-populated area with quite a few Telco companies operating.

My Internet doesn't go down often at all, but when It does, I need a backup - which Is my cell phone that's connected to a different provider.

Walkin' in the forest near my house. Very calmly

I know the feeling.

There's a huge park opposite my house that's miles long with lakes and surrounded by beautiful trees. A very serene experience when going for walks during nice days.

Go to the gym, eat, complain.

I’ll also spend most of the time while it’s down figuring out why it’s down if I’m not at work especially cause I pay the bill.
