Had a similar issue with BT and the fibre upgrade a year ago. I could get off and out of my country pile but the three peasants next door had to negotiate this travesty of injustice 😁 apparently the work was deemed to be something like ‘small works’ or something and they didn’t need to inform the residents.

Problem with BT is the vast majority is outsourced and no one seems to talk to each other. We live 2 doors down from the exchange here (good for speed for working from home), the downside is that they often knock us off when doing other things (not so good when working from home), every time I have raised it with the blokes doing the work its ben long standing planned works and they never ever tell us when its going to happen!

The city fibre twats have finished for the day. Me and my neighbour now have one drive between us so can get on and off. We also have a collection of blue barriers on our properties.
Lucky we get on with each other.

Because they're totally unaccountable and seen to be able to do what they want when they want.

Ignorant fuckwits. Just had some grim young "woman" on her phone shouting obscenities at the top of her voice. Lots of families with young kids around here, windows open because of the heat. What an Ignorant twat.

... orrrrrr we've got a massive shortage of lorry drivers before you add in those isolating, leading to stock issues across the country as the 'just in time' delivery model doesn't work if, well, it's not...

Walked past a sign on a lampost yesterday from a company basically desperately crying out for HGV drivers.

Just keep making late deliveries,  that way we get reduced price fresh produce that's getting near it's sell by date.

It's almost as though these things aren't public knowledge. I live literally thousands of miles away and I know this.

I think some people just prefer an excuse to blame other people for whatever reason.

Feel sorry that the owners may never know what happened to it.
