The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
6 February extra! (Part 2) - The net is back
Late in the afternoon and unannounced another BT engineer turned up. Like his
predecessors he had a good idea where the fault must be but this one was
prepared to argue with his bosses that they didn’t know what they were talking
about. They eventually agreed that my line should be put on a different port in the
street cabinet. The connection sprang back into life. A mere eight days later
than it would have done if BT Openreach had an iota of common sense in its corporate body.
The connection is horribly slow, not as good as I used to get over copper (under
6 megabytes download) before subscribing to the optical fibre service but that
is a battle for another day. There will be a letter on the BT Chairman’s desk before too long.
With 144 unanswered emails in the pipeline, don’t expect replies any time soon.
