11 April - Nothing but problems
Today should have seen the Finance Scrutiny meeting report
appear here but when I loaded up the audio file I found it ended after two and a
half minutes. In the past two weeks everything computer related has gone wrong -
along with several other things. I made myself
a new PC inside two days and my son asked if I would make one for him too. Much
the same but inside a much smaller box. That was the problem. A lot of kit in a
small space and no room to get a hand inside. At the last minute a disc drive
apparently failed and a complete disassembly was required to get at the
offending cable. After a two week struggle, as of an hour ago, I think it is now complete.
In the meantime I have accumulated 20 emails from Tony of Sidcup which are
unanswered and in some cases unread.
And then there are the usual household troubles. Thames Water and Octopus
Energy have both caused problems. Octopus fixed theirs in minutes with a phone call,
Thames Water took two weeks to reply and didn't answer any aspect of my enquiry.
Not one. I appreciate that they will be inundated with enquiries at the moment
but not reading the question is typical of that company’s idiocy. My water bill is now twice as high as my gas and electricity bills combined.
Anyway enough of that or the Finance meeting will never get reported.
