Having got fed up with BT constantly upping the price for things I have changed over to Plusnet, halved the cost, lost BTSport, and hopefully still have a decent service. Speed this morning is slightly slower, 43 instead of 50, by 1:30 it was up to 57 which is very good for this area.
Fiddling with the wires, removing the old BT cables now covered with a thick layer of dust, scrambling on the floor choking on dust changing plugs in unreachable places, then struggling to start the thing as filters were added that were not required. All in all it took half an hour before I woke up and worked out how to get it going. Now I am conscious I need to get the hoover out and get under the desk once again...
You will be aware of the fuss over this. At Mansion House while the Chancellor was spouting half truths this woman decided to make a protest regarding climate change. Mark Field, a large Tory MP grabbed her and chucked her out.
A fuss has ensued!
Loud yells from women concerning 'dangerous precedent' and anguish from opposition spokesmen.
Much space filled by the chattering media.
I have no sympathy.
There is a time to protest, the one in Hong Kong is an example, but disturbing speeches and blocking streets as has been attempted recently annoying folks going about their life, is not the way to do it.
Climate change is here and requires action, this is not the way to do it. This is more attention seeking than protest. I winder if she would protest for the homeless or the local foodbank? I wonder indeed.
Of course had it been a man thrown out no fuss would be seen, no comment on TV, no bleeding hearts from 'spokeswomen,' no papers sold and TV and radio time filled. Women sell papers.
Twice this week I have had to work! Not just Tuesday morning, which was busy again, but Thursday afternoon also. This I was told was a quiet day, it wasn't! People came in! On top of this we had climbed the castle on Monday, I had to iron all my shirts on Wednesday and clean the house and do other important jobs at home. It has been one of those weeks where I have been constantly busy. I am not used to this.
This could soon be your next Prime Minister.
Think about that!

Yes, Bt does keep upping their prices, so I don't blame you for moving. I stay with them because of Eurosport and rugby. Boris as PM could be a nightmare along with no deal. If that happens it will take years for the UK to recover. You can only hope that there will be a General Election on the horizon, but Labour will have to get its act together.
His reaction bothered me...it is perfectly possible to escort someone outside in a civilised manner.
I can't understand the furore over Mark Field either. Had he done nothing and the protester had stabbed someone there would be an outcry at the lack of action taken. It's a good job such attitudes were rare 80 years ago. We would never have won the war...
Dave, I wanted BT for the football but the constant increases were just too much.
Fly, But he will treat his wife that way....
Mike, I'm with you.
