Just a little rant to make me feel better, I hope you'll allow me!

One week on and still without a phone, grrrrr   it sounds normal to those ringing it but not a sound to be heard in the house!!

Had a terrific thunder storm on Saturday 31st May which knocked everything out and we had to wait until Wednesday before our satellite internet was back up and running, yes we are one of the alleged 3 or so percent in France that have to rely on satellite internet, or any other method, as broadband doesn't exist in our village. Dial up does but if we had that we would be really stuffed.

France Telecom said they would arrive Wednesday which they did shrugged their shoulders and sodded of again, then they would be here Friday but not a sign, nor Saturday when again they promised but nowt. So fingers crossed for today as isn't it surprising how much you miss something that is normally a nuisance always ringing and disturbing you when you sit to eat or are just out of reach and it stops ringing before you get it??

Hey that's better I feel better for venting my spleen, hope you forgive me and think I'll go and give Bubbles a big smacker on the snout!!

Hope you all have a good time doing whatever makes you happy

FT is the reason most people have a mobile here.  We only waited 3 months, have known others wait far longer.  ....... Its France ......

Farmer Giles, have you spoken to the peeps who run the english speaking line, I waited 6 months with no phone or internet, found out about these other people and was back on in 24 hours. If you want their number please ask
