Re the Sky broadband issue - I would switch suppliers. I've been using PlusNet for the last year and their support are pretty good. Sometimes the issue is the connection box where the phone line goes into the property, sometimes it is the socket you plug the router into and sometimes it is the route...

Hello Seahermit, drop me a direct message as I have something that will help.
thanks

Well the work is finally finished (other than a few paint tweaks on the outside) - I've posted up videos for those Video of the walk up to the property: https://youtu.be/VUAMP7HkDLk Walkthough of the flat: https://youtu.be/LPq5CVGT8HM The planning permission finally came through for the balcony, a m...

The DHL service sounds inexcusable. Again, computers should make mass deliveries to multiple customers easy to organise and control - why is it that the opposite happens? I find UPS to be reliable - always pick up at the same time and provide a good service (not particularly cheap though). DPD we h...

It is where the money ends up which is the problem. You hit the nail on the head! Think of the PPE scandal when the Covid pandemic started - all those companies with no track record appearing and getting millions only to never deliver or just deliver stuff unfit for purpose. Oh and they were largel...

Cynics might guess where the handouts end up - but that is venturing into libellous territory. I have worked in civil service and also housing authorities in the past - your suspicions are well founded. Like with the government, there will be contracts awarded to companies with questionable links t...

I'm not the kind of person to sit about and watch life go by - well not for long anyway (I do love a day by the beach, sitting in a hammock in the shade, reading a good book, sipping a cold drink and people watching between chapters). Looking around properties in St Leonards for the last 4 years has...

You have the right building - I managed to take it down from the inside with the help of my brother last Thursday - we managed to do it without any dramas or falling debris. I have a few repairs to the render to do now and get the paintwork updated to match the rest of the building. Another 2 weeks ...

The Sky broadband connection still goes every few days or so, so I still need to get that checked out. Keep a note of the day / time you find the broadband is down in case you can spot a pattern - eg when the microwave is used or when a rubbish truck is passing by. This may help identify the root c...

You should be able to have an online chat with O2 using their link: https://www.o2.co.uk/contactus In the very bottom right there is an option to chat to us online - hopefully that will get some progress. I always find it best to create a document with all the info and questions so I can copy/paste ...
