    Finally, after eight days I now have a working phone and internet again. Apparently some highly trained BT engineer connected my line to the wrong terminals.

      I hope it survives the high winds you'll be getting soon

        I'm rather hoping my weather station survives

        High winds = power cuts here

          Charge up the laptops and make sure you know where the corkscrew is. You'll be fine

            No work to do anyway for a bit so not too worried. I'll move in with friends for the duration if it gets too cold, I'm sure they'll have a corkscrew

              Doesn't beat my record of 18 days though.

              On that occasion they said the delay was due to a shortage of cherry-pickers.

              Fault was at ground level

                I can see the exchange from the house, a few telephone poles so all overground. When I tried to get a phone line installed here I was told it would take six weeks as they had to get permission from the council to dig up the road. Actually it took almost a year between one or another BT fck up.

                Bunch of complete 's

                Now the fight for compensation which probably isn't worth it but it'll keep Bob amused with stories for a few hours since I've nothing better to do.
