Rump or Sirloin?

Another victim of the flooding.

This cow was washed up against the base of the cliffs at Aust, almost underneath the Severn Bridge.

I was walking the dogs trying to calm down after another infuriating telephone conversation with my broadband provider. For the sake of anonymity let's call them 'Chat, Chat.'

Their broadband has been on a diet and is definitely rather skinny around the middle.

An engineer has visited us and told us that the problem is out in the road, or possibly up the pole. He booked us a BT Engineer who could climb poles. He did not turn up. I phoned 'Gossip, Gossip,' who told me they had cancelled the BT engineer and put me through to their technical department in the Indian sub-continent, who could apparently fix it from his office in Mumbai!

Now he was a lovely chap, very helpful, but absolutely rigidly stuck to his prepared script. He assured us he would fix the problem, although how he thought he would be able to climb to the top of a pole in South Gloucestershire from his office in the Punjab is beyond me.

He could not fix it - so he booked us a BT engineer....... who did not appear!!!!!

Arrrgghhhhhh
