    HURRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. 
    Sorted at last, 8 weeks it's taken.
    tThey've cut my monthly charge by £17 a month and I'll be refunded the "extra" I've been charged for April and May.

    I'm very annoyed with the weather but mostly the forecast which promises thunderstorms and heavy rain. I get all worked up hoping for a good drink for the plants and full water butt's..... Nothing. Sick of it.

    Good result Hostafan.  personally I wouldn't touch Talk Talk with a barge pole no matter what their prices are, I've heard my SIL moan so many times about their service, it's quite put me off.

    Bought some hanging basket liners earlier today.  Massive stack of the things on the shelf, so I checked they were the correct size then lifted the top ones.  Got home - 12" instead of 14".  Some pillock had put a different size in the top of the stack.  I know I should have checked more closely.  Not worth taking back as it would cost as much in petrol as the liners cost.

    Same here. I wouldn't bothered if the forecast said dry and then we got some rain - that would be a reason to be cheerful. We'd had a shower sometime before I got up this morning (the paths were damp) but the level in the butts hasn't changed noticeably so it wasn't much.

    I've been with them for the 8 years we've been here in Devon and also about 3 years in Hants. I've never had problems. ( until lockdown )
    I'm sure there isn't an ISP without dissatisfied customers. I'd not touch BT with the most socially distant barge pole.
