    I have just wasted an hour of my life messing about with BT, online and in two chats. I am fuming! And I will be moving on to another provider until I find one that doesn't make life impossible!

    You'll be needing one of these then.

    Oh no LG, is that my only option? Been trying to discourage them for years, think they will forgive me and co-operate?

    My rant (it's a disgusting one): foxes and their disgusting habits. Not content with biting plants, digging stuff up, leaving chewed and dismembered cuddly toys and other people's takeaway wrappers all over my garden, tunneling under the compost heap and making the entire lower half of the garden stink, they have now done their poo trick. I have the occasional slab or stone tucked into the borders to give me somewhere to tread in between plants. Every one along one side of the garden has a large dollop of fox poo on it. Not to put too fine a point on it, it's not the kind I could scoop up and bury either. Vile.

    Can I come and retrieve some to post to BT?

    All providers are impossible, I reckon pigeons are your best bet. Bring back the GPO! ;)

    Back to my Mother's roots then, pigeon loft it is! Won't be able to chat to you nice people unless Nora can type in my messages from the pigeon. Note to self - read about wartime pigeon training.

    Don’t talk about the post! I sent some plants out on the Monday, 1st class, they arrived Saturday. 
    Water, surely everyone should be on a water meter, makes sense, they pay for what they use, you soon learn not to over use.

    HELP?
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
