Hello Griselda, not seen you for a while!  :tiphat

Is Grieslda made of something heavier than depleted Uranium?
Barncat is!

The good news is that we have a temporary fix, nothing to do with livestock.... I rang our MSP asking if he could get onto Openreach and rev them up. Turns out he knows the Chairman. Engineer out here within hours, with instructions "don't go home till you've fixed it".  So, that was Monday evening. Turns out they could have done the same temporary repair last Thursday but basically could not be bothered, decided to leave 50+ houses cut off while they organised a "proper" repair with a new Pole.

My opinion of Openreach has not improved...

We had this happen to us a couple of months ago. A pole in someone's garden needed to be replaced (rotten) he would not let engineers on his land our line was out for two weeks spoke to engineer working on job said they had to apply for planning permission to site a new pole. When the guys went to take the pole down again he would not let them on his land the engineer told him he would be liable if it caused any damage so he let them take it down. :santa3

A lorry has demolished a telegraph pole (why do we still call them that ?) near Gene's house.
It could take a while for BT to get round to fixing it.

Meanwhile, any emails to membership will take longer to action...

The Crossmember online system is not effected.

We'll keep you posted.

Anyone recognise the car?

I'm sure one of our original Mrs Beaton's Cook Book has a receipt for Beaver in it.
I know we have a Colonial Edition somewhere that has receipt for Wallabies.
