How long ago was the change made? If recently/just now, what else has been done? Check it is what you think it is

Mine comes to me from the blue sky no cables involved 📡

My copper was on overhead line. The fibre also came overhead and was routed to an existing hole on the opposite side of the house to exactly where I wanted it. Done in a couple of hours by one man, no digging or chopping concrete up.

My copper was in the air. They changed it to fibre also in the air. Comes from the nearest wooden pole. Then down into the bt fing in the comms chamber under the ground next to it.

But thats wot yer get when yer leave a group ov countries aligned to wuk togeffer. We become outsiders so we no longer receive the benefits ov easy boarders.

It's all down to the under writer. The peeps the broker is using to gain insurance. Many different reasons. Sometimes nowt to do wiv you. How healthy their current risk portfolio is. If they dun't need the business so much as they're at their...

That's just tit for tat because you can't take meat & dairy the other way due to lack of regulatory alignment :(

Overhead? I thought fibre always went in the ground. Or is it because you is rural, or now that they're turning off copper lines they're just stringing up fibre cables like for like to make it cheap, quick, or even viable?

I was using a broker who I usually use, both times, and can't really work out what's changed in the intervening months. To be fair neither could the person at the other end of the phone, we ran through a few things which he said would make very...

W busy ordering a week's groceries from Ocado for when we get back. Over £200! :eek: Lordy, food is so much cheaper over here! Yet the Frogs are complaining about prices rising and their "pouvoir d'achat". Plus we will be going back with cool...

Similar situation but I wish, this was something like £40 a month extra.

So you are going to be flat out on your return dismantling them 😂

W has announced that she will be getting rid of the greenhouse and little shed in the UK, as we don't do anymore gardening there and will be replacing them with a bigger shed, which I will be able to have some of! :banana: Whoops here goes the...

Is there no chance of her finding another place to rent in the near future? If she stays put it will take ages, including court orders and bailiffs etc before she can be forced to leave. BUT she does have to make sure she is up to date with the...

Thanks for the clarification. So they are no relation to you, by blood. Fair enough.

No the lad's lady is his "new" partner since his wife walked out on him over 3 years ago. These are her kids. I agree the 21 YO should be in "safe" independent living quarters because she's not a child, but she continually plays the "baby" and...

I dont edit pics of motors for sale 🤣 🤣

No that’s an oil leak

Saving fuel? And enjoying the views? 🤣 🤣 🤣

It's made it back fine along the glen. Some big Mercedes was only doing 15 in the 60 😑

For a bloke who isn't very good with photoshop you seem to be quick at it as well as pretty good!! I think we'll have to look very carefully at any Landies you put up for sale ont tinternet!!!🤣🤣🤣

I see you've been out with the mower, that you don't have as you don't have any grass!!!! 🤣 Edit. And your paintbrush, very neat!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Bettern me! "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king!" As Erasmus used to like saying!

Sorry, must be having a bit of a senior moment. The lad's lady, is the one that left him? If so where do you come in? Cos they are your grandchildren? And secondly, if a person with kids is made unintentionally homeless, isn't it the council's...

The grass is it going off road. 🤣 Im not very good at photoshop as you can see haha

BT is here putting fibre cables overhead, tis raining now. Got a new wee project on the go making a bar in my shed.

and leaving a trail of grass behind it as it does so!!!!! And there was me thinking, "Cor, that @kevstar is getting to be a bit of a "Photoshop Pro"! 🤣 🤣 🤣 (Only joking I wouldn't know where to start, even if I could BA!")
