I thought that Shetland had drifted too far north

Oh goodness, gracious me, I thought that Shetland had drifted too far north but perhaps not. Perhaps they've fixed it this time, perhaps BT has decided that we're worth re-connecting to. I wonder just how long it'll last this time around.

I've been disconnected from the internet for twenty-two and a half hours this time. I, like everyone else, pay for 24/7. Will there be any discount in the next bill I wonder, you know, just to say sorry.

I must admit that it may not be the whole of Shetland that has been affected, it might just be Hillswick for all that I know. Regardless, it proves time after time what a crap system they are operating.

But they keep on charging - and they don't blush.

Is Shetland getting ripped off

Is Shetland getting ripped off when it comes to paying for the Internet or is it just as bad as everyone else in the U.K?

When you initially set up your Broadband Internet, you expect it to be available 24/7 – but it is not. First thing in the morning, between 9.00 and 10.30am you very often cannot get on because the rest of the U.K is doing what you want to do. Now, the rest of the country’s schools are closed mid-term and all the children are playing on the internet so it is impossible to get on-line.

The kids have as much right to the internet as we do, I hope that they are learning from their visits to wherever and enjoying it as well – but why am I paying for a full-time service that I get on a part-time basis? Why am I getting ripped off, not supplied with what I pay for?

What are B.T going to do about this system that they sell us – when, in effect, it doesn’t work?

Sunshine

I'm sitting in the garden just now, wondering where the sunshine comes from at this time of year. I would have thought it a bit late for weather like this in the beginning of October but I'm obviously wrong, the sun is shining and it's warm too. Okay, there are some clouds on there way but we wan't complain, can we.

The question is how long will the good weather last? Surely, not much longer now?

If it does though, I won't complain!!!

More Pic's

When I first started this blog I used my mobile phone to take snapshots and they were really popular. Unfortunately, the phone was in my jacket pocket but the jacket wasn't on my back whilst I was playing pool in a pub in Edinburgh.

After all these years, well, two or three, a new phone is on its way. I expect to get it on Saturday and will put up any decent snaps that turn up.

Hopefully, by then I'll have conquered the problem of the anonymous posts that are still appearing, fingers crossed, eh!!!


Oh, if you ever find out who the bugger that nicked my jacket and therefore my phone which was also my camera, then please let me know!!!
