All the other faults I’ve been involved with have been at the exchange, more usually the green box (ever seen the spaghetti inside one?)  

Every time I do, I look on in wonder at how the F*** anyone can understand what the hell is going on in their(though I suspect its very logical and actually quite easy!)

I think that the issue here is if Openreach come back with no fault found. if they cannot see/access the break and diagnostic equipment says all is well they will enforce charge.  I realise that the green box is usually always outside the actual property but it would be nice to be given the chance to speak to the engineer and say “here I think this is the fault!”

I always recommend to people to watch S1E03 first and then at the end come back to 1 and 2, although like the books these set the story up they are a little confusing and often do more to put people off than actually watch it.

Well S7E01 was good, lots of teasing, cameo by Ed Shearen. It covered the 3 main factions and expanded on Sam’s role, watch out for the hand!

Overall I think the episode was good, watching again for any other missed bits but Aria’s bit at the start was excellent and confused the BLEEP out of SWMBO!

When we got sky shortly after we moved in the guy installing told me he could not run the cable through the loft, sky discourage it due to people altering their lofts after installation and then blaming sky for any problems its not worth their time apparently, which back’s up @sgb101 earlier post.

I seem to recall a question when you sign up for sky about the height of property, maybe this has something to do with insurance and loft installs?

Sorry Dave, I maybe didn’t explain very well.

1.  The Customer Service we received from ‘Talk Talk’ was shocking this was some time ago and we resolved it by leaving. We were polite supplied them with all requested documentation, allowed them to see our financial position.  Despite all this they insisted we owed them money, we paid and claimed it back through the small claims procedure.
2. The journalist has been amazing for us raising our local profile and introducing us to companies in the local area wanting to help us, the unit would not be here today without her.  The one issue that we had with another maritime charity DID result in them getting some bad press, but only after the lets try and solve this amicably route failed.  Quite why sea cadets would be disposing of garden waste illegally is beyond me but they were convinced it was us that had dumped it.
3. Our lawyer has helped us no end, with the council, with who we rent the land from and also more recently  with an spurious electric bill from a company we have never done business with.

I have worked in customer service, and I do understand the gentile approach to resolving issues, but on the other end of things I have experienced the “You are small and insignificant response some companies chose to resolve issues with.

Our talk talk account used to be in the name of “Mr C Accountant” their customer service was shoddy and their attitude towards us as a charity was laughable, luckily we had and influx of cadets that brought skills with them, one parent is a journalist another a lawyer, since then we have not had as many snags with companies trying to rip us off!!

“I’d hope that some of the cadets aren’t that stupid to cut it but there’s never any guarantee!” I hear ya! despite being sea cadets i think we’ve ended up with some space cadets!

UPDATE TO ABOVE

Just spoke to a parent of one of our cadets who works for openreach.

Up to the position of your master socket the line is the responsibility of ‘openreach’ from there on in its up to you.

The fee you were quoted is for an engineer coming out and finding NO Fault, this is usually verified by the line tester but is NOT 100% accurate from your picture which he assumes is the line from the exchange he thinks this IS ‘openreach’s’ problem as the line won’t know its broken hence will not show a fault. As you are talk talk they will dispatch an engineer from ‘openreach’ to examine the line.

In his opinion this is a NO CHARGE REPAIR, unless the line running from the exchange is too short to repair and a new line has to be installed TT should pick up the cost of repair but might say that a person from your unit caused the damage and that you are responsible. in which case you can either pay for the repair or fight TT through the small claims court.

We got round this by moving to BT as a new customer, but your right it has to be a business line,Afraid I don’t know why, I think it’s linked to charity status. It is though time for us to find a different provider as BT is extorition for what is basically an internet only line!

We played football (50+ a side) on a huge grassed field known as the Sewerage Field, due to the fact that it adjoined what is now called a Waste Treatment Plant. We came home wondering how our parents knew we had been there, not realising that our noses had grown used to the smell from our clothes. We got slapped legs and smacked heads for it, but we did not call a Social Worker. Inevitably, most games ended in a mass fight and some of us went home with bruises and bloody noses, but our parents did not want to take legal action over it.

I’m certain I’ve played there when they were building said supermarket!  100+ fights though plenty of them and no police to sort em out, just a mother.

Here is the best that I could find on it

It suggests that trials have been carried out on younger children and:

Cogitum – Active principle of the drug is acid atsetilaminoyantarnaya – biologically active compound contained in the CNS. The drug helps to normalize the processes of the nervous regulation, has a stimulating effect.

Aspartic acid is involved in a number of metabolic processes, in particular regulates carbohydrate metabolism by stimulating the transformation of carbohydrates into glucose and the subsequent formation of glycogen.

Along with glycine and glutamic acid aspartic acid is a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, regulation of nervous processes stabilizes and has a stimulating effect.

Moreover, aspartic acid has a pronounced hepatoprotective effect, reduces the negative impact of radiation on the body, and stimulates the neurotoxic ammonia elimination from the body.

True but then up here the SNP created a massive PFI School fiasco, I’d edge my bet any party that states no more PFI will get some extra votes

Basically in North Ayrshire, for many years it was Labour, in fact only in 2015 did N. Ayrshire really fall to the SNP.  It’s trends tend to fallow that of Glasgow (a good number of weegies moved here during slum clearances).  The LOCAL SNP lot seemed to be doing ok for a period of time but after one of their own got elected to MSP last year a by-election caused problems when Labour managed to sneek past ‘Robin Sturgeon'(See Nicola),  Joan (again see Nicola!) and the Rest of the SNP quit.

They appear on the surface to be a profile party, whilst its high they want to be every where but when it goes against them they are nowhere to be seen but can be found hiding behind there keyboards claiming its all the fault of Westminster. They’ve let Scotland down on Education, Healthcare and the Economy, each time blaming Westminster despite having total control of health and education and being able to alter the income tax rate.

As I said I’ve seen the Labour Guy a few times mostly in the news, one of the most recent appearances in the press was the SNP attacking him for choosing the Local Schools Award’s Night over a Jolly to Northern Ireland for an Awards Dinner.

Despite this I already see the yellow posters appearing but so far none for  labour, I suspect if I see a tory one I might be up for an award from Crime stoppers! As for the Lib – Dem’s I don’t even have a candidate for the locals!!  That said Ardrossan and Arran appears to have a “No Referendum, Maintain Union, Pro-Brexit ” party, they also have a Tory candidate, I wonder if they are having a spot the difference contest?
