So another week goes by, the builder doesn't make an appearance, so I am left with two holes in my lounge ceiling, then another week goes by and no internet still, So I ring FT and ask where my line is, and I am told it will be another week, so I wait another week and no internet, so I ring FT again, and speak to someone who tells me that some work needs to be done, and did I want to speak to tech support, so he transfers me (this is all on my mobile phone!) , so I did, and the guy tells me that some work needs doing, but he will call me back on 16th June between 10-11am, so I wait another week, and did he call, did he hell!
I wait another couple of days and was all prepared to take the router, gift wrap it and drop back at the shop, but my friends realised that their websites were out of commission while I was offline, so his wife met me at the shop to translate...but the assistant had just spent 2 years working in London and spoke English. Anyway, he checks their online records and...tells me there is a problem and that he will ring customer support...but despite twenty zillion attempts he couldn't get through.
So, he tells me that he will ring them later on and then give me a call. We leave the shop..
Later that afternoon he calls me. There is a problem, it will take a week to fix it. I will have a landline on 22 June.
On 21st June I switched the router back on just out of wishful thinking...and the internet light came on. I turned the PC on and I was live!
I hit the RCTankWarfare button.....and the bl**dy site was down!!
Today is the 22nd....but the telephone light is still blank.
AND I still haven't got a wheelie bin, and the builder called in last week to tell me that he will be round at the end of this week to fix the holes, and I have now discovered that the only part of the roof that I didn't have replaced is in serious need of repairs!!
How's things over there, you had an election or something didn't you? Apparently the Rothschilds were voted back into power again??
