We don't have a water supply at the moment. There doesn't seem to be problem as far as the website goes so I have No idea what the problem is.

I hope the pipe hasn't burst somewhere down the line as the meter is about 1/4 miles down the lane and there is no way we could fix it ourselves or have the water company fix it. The cost would be horrendous.

We had the same last week, off for about 2 hours, came back on around 8.30 PM, happens 2 or 3 times a year, most annoying. Again, something we take for granted until it fails, turn on a tap and there's water there.

LOL ..... A little spider has just gone down the back of MrsD's blouse, and it's tickling her.
It had run across her lap a few moments earlier.
She doesn't want to move and hurt it, but it's making her laugh. :laugh:

The ickle spider worked it's way around MrsD's front, up between her boobs and popped out on her front.
She blew it off and it ran away. :laugh:

Barnet,
I've just started the arduous task of changing my email address on all my accounts that need it. Banks, utilities, subscriptions etc to my gmail address.
I am going to change my broadband provider from BT to someone else. I am paying nearly £62 a month, when they are offering new customers less than half that for a better connection.
I have tried talking to them with little success, I shall be a bit more forthright next time and get through to the retention department. If they can't help me out I'll leave to another provider.

I am in process of doing the same, for same reason (currently a Talktalk customer). It is tedious task.

At each renewal, I do haggle, with some success, but, I have decided to have an "independent" Email address to make potential "OK, well, please cancel my contract" conversation a little easier, if needed.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

They did that to me as well a couple of years ago. I was paying £60 a month for rubbish broadband and phone.

I changed to EE and paid half that.

I also changed everything to a Gmail email. Saves having to change it again if/when I change providers.
