Since our house extension began. It was supposed to take 13 weeks and be done and dusted by 20/12/ 2003.
It has been a nightmare and we were saved by a marvellous Joiner and QS. If anyone is looking for a recommendation for those skills I will have no hesitation in putting these people forward. First Class and they both live locally. I forgot to mention my friend and neighbour Fergus who put me in touch with the 'rescue team'. Thanks you know we appreciate it.
We finally got half of our kitchen back on Friday and I feel that just around the corner is the light of day.
It will be a Year in just 3 weeks time....
I think that sort of thing happens all the time. I don't know if anyone here has been on a show like Trisha? I was on the one that Kaye Adams used to do on the Beeb. The show started off being called something totally different to what it was called in the end. They had shipped in quite a lot of people with experiences who were basically just dumped as somebody else said something seemingly more interesting on a different but related subject.
Well, perhaps someone can tell me how to do the impossible, and get some action out of BT 
I have been without a phone for 18 days. When I first moved into the flat, the phone was supplied by Telewest. As I have always been with BT, and until now have always had good service, I said 'Oh, I'd rather have BT line' and changed the line.
The phone went dead on the evening of 26 August. I was away to Furness early the next morning, so I could not try to report it until the Saturday morning from my friend's house. We simply could not get through. I actually waited for almost 15 minutes 'in the queue' before I gave up. It was not until 1 September, when I could use the phone at work, that I could report the fault. That was 13 days ago, and my line is still dead.
I won't go into the sordid details of calls to BT, held 8 and 10 minutes in a queue each time, an engineer booked to come in who did not arrive, having to tell the story over and over again, and getting nothing but soothing words, which only made me angrier - and 13 days without a phone.
Has anyone any bright ideas how to resolve this?
