Disconnected (again)

Last Wednesday (January 19th) my phone line (and ADSL) started playing up. The following day it was pining for the fjords.

Our wonderful telecommunications provider BT won’t even come to look at it until next Thursday (February 3rd) citing the repair for the recent storms as the reason for the delay.

To add insult to injury, BT are stating that the storms were an “act of god” and are refusing to pay any compensation for loss of service. I’m waiting to find out if I’m included in this.

Sometimes it sucks to live out in the countryside¹…

¹ But then I go for a walk outside (or even just look out of the window) and remember why I put up with this sort of thing to live here.
