Inca is ill,,,and as all my compadres will verify,an ill Inca is not a happy chimp,so why BT chose this week to be a right royal pain in the butt is beyond comphrension.
The Robster is still lounging about in hospital,,some minor illnesses called pnuemonia and plureisy,,and a lung that keeps deflating of it's own free will,so he is off with the fairies on drugs and oblivious to my dilemma,,which is good cos I'm on the warpath !!.The story so far:-
Monday 26th Nov..Incas 50th birthday,,all is well,,till I realise my home landline is kaput,ring BT from mobile,,recorded voice says major intyweb issues in my area being resolved,I report phone fault.
Tues 27th,I get text to say fault will be repaired by..........THE 5TH OF DECEMBER !!
I ring,,have a rant,get told,,'oh yes,nice lady with croaky voice,,it will be fixed within 2 hours,,it's NOT,,so still no phone/internet.
Wed 28th....My voice has gone AWOL,,it no longer exists,,I try to rant and look like a fish out of water,,or 'a lady of the night,,all lip action,,no vocals' (Thanks,son !!)
Thurs 29th,Brother rings BT,,has a goony fit at them,threatens legal action,,disabled woman,no landline,no internet ,cut off from world etc,BT promptly put a call divert on my landline to my mobile..I HAVE NO BLOODY VOICE,,WHAT USE WAS THAT?? Brother is told fault has been 'escalated' to engineers,,folks,,this is 4 bloody days later !!
Fri 30th,,still ill,,still no voice,,still have OH in hospital,still no phone......but Hark! What is that I spot,,the 'B' on my Infinity router is blue and static,,I have INTERNET !! Yay!! On said internet I leap,,and spend day doing stuff,bills,chatting (well,,chatting mostly).
Still Friday,,5pm,,the internet goes off again,,(still no phone),,my son wants to ring BT and rip them a new one,I say 'give it 10 mins'...The front doorbell rings,,,,,,,,and standing there,,like a frozen angel in a Hi Vis jacket is,,,THE MAN WHO CAN FROM B BLOODY T!!
Son tells him our tales of woe,(including the bit where we were told no engineer would need to visit).Man checks and says,'Can't fix it tonight,,telegraph pole,,too dark,connections rusty,be back tomorrow.' Son says,'So how come we had intyweb all day till a few minutes ago'..and this is the most classic answer I have ever heard 'Well,,the coils is rusty,,and the frost stuck em together to give you connection,now they are apart again' !!!!!!!!! See you tomorrow,,ttfn
'
Friday eve passes,,I go bed,,3am I am woken by the sound of my ebay on my iphone,cos the bloody coils is frozen together again,,and now,,at 7.44 am,,they are still copulating !!
What a clucking kerfuffle !!!!
