Contacted Broadband/ TV company, to complain that Service Engineer had not turned up as agreed. Told he knocked on door and no one in !, get 3 of us were. Strange that working bell not used, suspect never came. Maybe agent did not understand my accent, and I could hardly understand his, took 25mins to get alternative date for visit - confirmed by Text.
2 hours after 1st text another date for appointment date was notified without referring to cancellation of first one. Not really sure what is going on, and getting through on phone to speak to anyone is a nightmare.

Hopefully you have another source. Competition is the key ingredient.

Went and filled my car up this morning, the garage was like Santa's grotto. I like Christmas as much as anyone, but it's November!

It is trying to snow here too. That is normal for us to expect some snow in November. From now till May next year snow on the ground is normal.

Sadly, my father went through ECT, he had five shock therapy to treat his Vietnam War PTSD.

Many decades ago my jackass grandfather had it done to my aunt as a child because she was happy. My Mother said she was never the same after that. I guess she was lucky they didn't go for the twin suborbital lobotomy.

Did it help with the PTSD?

They still do that crap for panic attacks and to make you quit smoking and things like that.
