At last BT open reach have come to there senses and have done a temporary repair
on my way back from the village yesterday I saw a man scrambling through the undergrowth behind the barrier, I stopped to see if he was OK,
then noticed he was from BT Open Reach
He told me he was looking for a gully under the road to bring the cables through
after a chat he informed me he was given the job today and was surprised that we had been without since January, as he was sent on a repair job the day before for some-one who had lost there supply over the week end,
He went on to say a temporary repair could have done weeks ago.
He promised to try his best and get us up and running.
yesterday evening YYYYYYYYYYEEEEAHHHHHHHHH
we were re-connected.
I have learned two things through this,
all those sites I bookmark because there info or recipes I want
never again, I am going to print out, write out and keep my own copies
Also it has shown up a gap in my reference books
I will now be doing a bit of book shopping.
They are doing a proper repair on the 13th of March road will be closed
Then on the 22nd April they are replacing poles that are worse for wear.
Its great to sit at home with a cuppa and blog :-)
Welcome back Dawn! As for BT's total incompetence....words fail me.
ReplyDeleteThey are a law unto themselves unfortunatly they are the only provider up here
DeleteYes welcome back, you've been missed. Go after them for compensation MAKE THEM PAY. Looking forward to your updates.
ReplyDeleteI have missed reading blogs too
DeleteYeeeeha!! You must be so relieved. Couldn't imagine going a day without access ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat I do is download the recipes, save them to Word, file them under the different main ingredient, and then I can access them at any time I need to.
It was a wake up call of living without technology we take it so much for granted
DeleteBliss to be blogging again I would guess. I really don't know what I would do without it now - expect you feel the same.
ReplyDeleteThere was something missing from my day as time went on I started getting use to it
DeleteDawm, glad you are back!!! I have changed my online habits since the glich we recently had sent our laptop crazy. I now have 3 bookmarks; my blog, pinterest, my email log on page and that is it. I am carful with Pinterest because you don't know what is attached to the pin you are re-pinning. I no longer bank online. I print recipes off. If it were possible I would cheerfully give up all technology. We are having a mobile mast up and running soon, apparently, and I'm really not bothered as have got out of the habit of using it. Rant over, sorry.xx
ReplyDeleteI wont get caught out again, back to hard copies of everything for me
DeleteGreat news. Glad you are back online full time.
ReplyDeleteso am I
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteif you ring them and gove them the dates you were without service you will get money knocked off your next bill. we did it a while back and claimes 6 weeks line rental back, not a fortune but better in our pockets than theirs.
take care jane
Compensation will be a battle no doubt
DeleteI'd love to know the gaps in your book collection?
ReplyDeleteThe gaps were books about livestock health, in particular herbal remedies,
DeleteGood to hear that you are back on line. About time too!
ReplyDeleteWill feel better about it when its fixed properly but its a start
DeleteEnjoy your reading I hope you did not get too much snow today. it is trying to snow here.
ReplyDeleteSnow has been on and off but it hasnt settled
DeleteWelcome back indeed! I agree with the previous commenter - you definitely should get compensation.
ReplyDeleteVery good to see you again Dawn :)
Yes compensation will be the next battle
DeleteNice to see you back! :) what rubbish service from BT - they should at the very least apologise!
ReplyDeletewe have had loads of sorry's but action speaks louder than words
DeleteNice to have you back and well done for continuing to post as often as you could in the circumstances. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteYAY!! DH is onto me ALL THE TIME about bookmarking recipes. I need to print them out!
ReplyDeleteso glad you're back in force, we've missed you!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back and in the swing again. Bitterly cold here tonight we have not had any snow - we tend to miss it unless it really is horrendous elsewhere and then perhaps a sprinkling. Needless to say the cats are hogging the house. Just got to look for a new slow cooker bowl! Little darlings. Glad you are back. x
