A frustrating day

Didja' ever
Didja' ever get
Didja' ever get one
Didja' ever get one of them
Didja' ever get one of them days, boy
Didja' ever get one of them days
When nothin' is right from mornin' till night
Didja' ever get one of them days
Didja' ever get one of them days

And so it seemed in this household.
Our broadband supplier, Virgin Media, completed a free speed upgrade in the area and naturally nothing works properly now. It took an hour to load yesterday’s Blipfoto entry.

So I phoned the supplier today, listened to endless music for such a long time, then I had to answer more and more questions until I was told “there was a fault in the area” (really?) and it would be fixed in two days time.

Why not when there is known fault in an area, start with what is your postcode and that will tell the agent everything they need to know?      Good grief 

Now that the weather has turned more wintry, we need to start using the central heating. No luck there; the boiler delivers hot water but not heating.

I then discovered that the heating engineer we use retired some months ago.
Thanks for letting us know!


I had more luck with that one, pushing buttons, rebooting, cursing, etc and now it seems to be fine.

Perhaps I should get a job with Virgin Media?
