Mmm. Shaunbhoy.

He is into mobile network maintenance of some kind...

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.

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.

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

I'm rather hoping my weather station survives

High winds = power cuts here

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

On the plus side, BT usually have some good payouts for lengthy lack of service, particularly if it's registered as a business line.

Enjoy the break, read a book

I certainly will enjoy the break unexpected as it is. Catch up with some reading and spend some quality time in the studio.

You posting on 3g then?

Staying at a friends place to get some work done and come to some arrangement with ClientCo about my 'holiday'.

Since the floods yesterday and possibly more tomorrow no more comms. BT estimate to have it fixed by 5pm on 5th December.

Damn that's serious.

I wish you more luck than I had with BT.

Statement from a BT employee in the mid 1980s:

"You can't afford to sue us."

I've never hit a woman in my life, but by God I came extremely close that day.

7 days from the fault report to a fix is not acceptable, so much for working from home.

Bob learned a few more words to add to his vocabulary.
