Some visiting German friends of mine opened their laptop and logged on to
WiFi with no problem at all in a house which has no email access/modem or
anything to do with internet.
Is this common round here?

Is it not the case that they just have to be close to an access point?
I'm not 100% but I think I have seen things about people sitting in
their car using wifi

If they had WiFi Hotspot access then there are plenty of available
sites round this area. Roughly 12 round W/Bay, 12 North Shields and
about 20 plus around South Shields.

There are also plenty of folk with insecure WiFi that allow the
less scrupulous to gain access to the internet. I have one near
me, completely open including the router that if I so desired I
could put in a password and lock the legitimate user out. I'm
hoping to find him/her to point out the error of their ways.
