Hi,
WOW; thanks everyone for taking the time to read my story and to reply.
If I told you the whole story Lawrence I'm sure it would be a two hankie job?
I got out of bed this morning in a lot of pain; I ached and my right elbow was extremely painful not allowing full movement of my right arm; I think I've found a new ailment called Lorch Elbow. Because of nothing but hassle every time I try to spend some quality time in the garage I tend to go mad once I finally do get into the garage so I know the pain I suffer is self inflicted. I was hurting when I added this thread this morning but I wanted to do something rather than simply moan about my lot although I had a fair stab at it through this thread.
I've been reading all your replies and I had hoped that there would be one broadband supplier who really stood out from the rest? At first I thought great; lets go for BT but then you shot this down Colin with poor speed which is a pity but I value your time and effort. Plusnet has been mentioned a number of times but I get the impression they too can be occasionally troublesome? I had considered TalkTalk but because of your views I'll leave TalkTalk well alone; seeing your views about TalkTalk has made posting this thread worthwhile; one thing I do know about this forum and its wide awake members is that I can ask for and receive straight talking replies which are so helpful.
Colin very kindly posted npower CEO's email when I had trouble with npower and this helped a great deal; do I now also contact Richard Branson directly to explain how his company is messing Bron and me around?
I received the following today from Virgin Media and it wound up the big key in my back a bit more especially the sport part?
Sorry; I had to delete the message as it had some detail on such as my email address etc but it was Virgin Media once again trying to get me to upgrade to a bigger bundle with more sport cover; YUKK and double YUKK.
After posting the thread this morning I put on my best clothes and wandered into the garage thinking I'm hurting already so I'll give it something to hurt for and not be a wimp? As I started to lift and drag the heavy lumps of Lorch lathe around I started to ease up and the pain diminished so that by dinner time I was once again feeling a lot better. After dinner fed up with all the hassles around home I took Bron to a craft store just to get away for a while and this worked; when we arrived back home I went straight into the garage and got cracking once again; I'll post on the Lorch thread shortly with today's update but as I type I feel I overcame my problems and have done something useful today; I hope I'm not in for another bad night after today's work out?
Our new neighbour has gone with AOL; I'll ask her why she chose AOL and if she is happy with this company; comments most welcome. Thanks once again everyone for your information; the problem is not yet resolved.
Kind regards, Col.
