Twas on a Monday morning ...
...the gas man came to call...
The Engineer was supposed to have us as his first call at 8:00am. At 11 (well, it was raining - and I mean really raining) George called Them and They said "the engineer called but could not find your house so went away again". I will leave you to imagine what was said after that.
By about lunch time, the "engineer" had arrived and also left again, assuring us that the New Box would be activated after about 30 minutes. By late afternoon, after many calls to Them, repeating the codes and serial numbers from the New Box, and reinstalling the hardware (removing extraneous adapters added by the "engineer"), we finally got our service back.
I celebrated by downloading some new software platform to my laptop, which promptly caused all my networking hardware to become invisible, and removed any possibility of further home working (even dial-up)......
