Praise and also screw you

Yesterday I tried to phone my mother,as did my brother and next door neighbour. Hours passed and I started to worry so I phoned BT to ask if the problem on her line was fixed.

Yes they say.

So now I am concerned and phone the police-they were very understanding and offered to go round.

30 minutes later I get a call from a sergeant from mum`s house putting her on a mobile-she was fine but her phone was down.


so praise our police force but screw you BT-elderly folk have `life lines` so get your bloody finger out

We are reliant on BT as mobiles don't work where we live!

Sounds typical of BT Old Git. Our phones were down for about 6 days very recently and from what I can gather a wide area was affected by someone accientally cutting a cable. BT never bothered to let anyone know, or even apologise. When they were contacted they just said Oh it will be on again by Monday next - and that was all. Pity they have a monopoly on the lines.

Good marks to the police and bad ones to BT!!

Glad you managed to get in touch with her, OG, must have been worrying for you.

Take care.

That's disgusting of BT, and how selfish!
You could well have done without that unnecessary worry OG.
Another brownie point for our police force, after they recently helped me.

Typical of BT we were told our line was ok when it obviously wasn't.

When I had trouble contacting my elderly aunt and was worried I contacted her local police, they wouldn't go and check on her but sent an ambulance instead. Needless to say my Aunt was fine but she gave me a right earbashing for embarrassing her!
