Dear all,


Can anyone help me with some advice? I've trawled through the net but struggling to find the correct information. Like many streets in our neighbourhood, there is lots of attic conversions, roof fixing and general building work going on on our road.


The problem I have is that next door is having a roof conversion and it 'appears' that their scaffolding has slit our BT cable in two rendering us having no phone line and *scream* broadband.


Their builders deny it was them even though BT say that it was them as their scaffolding is inches away from our sorry telephone line which is now hanging in two. It does appear a huge coincidence that the telephone line would just snap right in the middle of their scaffolding....


Anyway, I don't really care how it happened. I just want it fixed so I can get back to 'Orange is the new black' etc on Netflix.


BT will only fix it when their scaffolding comes down. However next door says that their scaffolding is going to be up for at least the next three months.


Does any lovely person have any advice?


Cheers all

I'd guess you could talk to OFCOM, as BT are failing to provide your phone and broadband service through no fault of your own. Won't be quick, though. Are BT suspending all charges while this is happening?


If any of the scaffolding is on your land, then I'd suggest you have quite a bargaining chip with next door.

Thanks for your advice folks. Our neighbours and us are both end of terraces and there is a gap of about 3 ft between our properties. None of their scaffolding touches ours, but our phone line crosses over their roof and that's where the problem has arisen.


BT rang my mobile this morning, and God love them, they are going to send a 'cherry lift' so hopefully they can make the necessary repairs.


If not....cant' imagine a Christmas without wifi...especially as the lil one is getting his first iPad.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
