    Did the BT man look bloated, from an all you can eat breakfast gulped down in under an hour?

    Didn't look .... he seemed happier.... belly of food probably does that.

    I am so pleased for you that this is all happening in such an exciting way. Bags of fun and interest for you. Other telephone providers don't provide this level of service.

    No, others would have turned the s0ddin' service on, seamlessly and silently in the background, on the 10th, when it was booked to occur.

    :)

    Engineer said each time you call, or there's a task done on the job, it's given a number. Task 1 is when the job's booked onto the system; he said he was currently doing Task 21 for my service.

    Were the other 20 tasks setting the next task number in the sequence?

    I think it must be something like that.....

    Maybe All You Cat Eat counts as two tasks..... and they did that instead of attending to my service connection instead of scoffing as well as doing the job.

    I'm slightly surprised that creosote does not sting or cAuse more serious harm. It's powerful enough to kill funguses that attack wood, after all.

    I posted (before his mishap) that it is teh environmentally friendly version...the other stuff is now illegal. It was fantastic at killing off bugs though.

    Did he have bugs down there before the accident? I think that'd worry me more than if the liquid were corrosive/toxic :)

    All is in fine working order:o.

    Actually better leave bugs out of this...she is capable of drivercide, so we are not messing with her.

    Is the numbering even sequential? Maybe it's 1, 11, 21, 31 like some US house numbering systems.

    I remember reading that Lou Grades GTV studios in Manchester had only two TV studios but he numbered them 4 and 6 to make the whole business look bigger.;)
