Ho!  There are some very odd things that happen at times in Ullswater.  The National Park Wardens like to keep an eye on you.

I am happy most of the time. Until I get to part of the house where the kids have been:
Sink full of dirty dishes, basket full of dirty (and clean, mixed) laundry, odds and ends strewn across the floor. They think they are old enough to live in an apartment by themselves. They live in the basement. They think they shouldn't have to pay rent (fair enough since they are both finishing high school, and only have part time jobs), but the basement floor is mostly clothes.

Yes, that would make me grumpy all right. I have only myself and mr tp to look after and I find it challenging at time. I think one can train the husband, but not kids I suppose.

I`m  grumpy, all right. In fact I`m absolutlely BLUDDY FURIOUS Brief pause while Morticia hurls furniture around the room, eats the wallpaper and decapitates doorknobs.

Bluddy bluddy BT!! I have had a problem with my landline for over a week, couldn`t get incoming calls. After they screwed up by not coming when they were meant to and then coming when they weren`t  meant to, they turned up yesterday. Having  been told it was most definitely an external fault and therefore there would be no charges, the guy changed my `phone socket because he said it was the wrong one. I pointed out that it had been installed last year by a BT engineer and that, surely, I should not be liable for charges. He looked at the ground and said nowt. Stupidly, I let him take the original socket away, so I have no proof of its suitablity or not. Now I am looking at a charge of over £ 200!!! for less than 20 minutes work. Arrghhhh!.

I can see a Mort versus BT Battle coming up.

Have been there, done that, Morticia. Our phone works only if door bell doesn't. What is the connection, you ask. Who knows.
All to the rescue

Well, that made me smile t-p  Grin Grin Thank you.

The infuriating thiing is that I, too, have been here before. This is the third time! I got so fed up with BT a few years I changed to another service provider, but if something goes wrong I still have to get BT out. Grrr. Talk about captive audience.  Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry

Poor Mort: I'm very aware of this situation too, occasionally working as I do for a company which is an alternative provider. It's caused so fun and games in the past, oh yes!

Thanks for that, chaps. Much appreciated. I had a skirmish today with someone called Donna (I suspect she wears pigtails -`  I can `t give you no information. You `ave to wait till you get yer bill`)

I now have no alternative but to call in the girls .........
