    Guessing still no broadband, as predicted (along with better things to do with your time).

    Now you are in, please can I suggest you get a qualified sparks to do a full electricity safety check and give you a ten year certificate. We have to do it for (thatched property) insurance but having lived in a Heath Robinson wired house once, this is a good thing to put on your to-do (or ta-da and KC calls them) list!
