Breakdown in law and order.
Its been a traumatic day for us, and a shocking development in our community - mainly because its always been such a peaceful part of Wales. We did once have an armed robbery in our local post office in Berriew some 30 years ago (which did far less harm to it that the current Government's current plan which it to kill it off altogether) but generally, there's never been any violence or vandalism worth a mention. Anyway, our telephone and Internet has been down since last Friday, and I asked the men in yellow coats, who were about today in numbers what the trouble was. It seems someone had gone to the trouble of elevating himself (sexist I know) to the height of the cable, and hacksawed through it. In Berriew. What is the world coming to? Law and order is breaking down. Power back on now, so blogging resumed.

Rats like gnawing through cables - news to me that have evolved into rats with hack-saw teeth. "How things change." *smiles*
you should try living where I do. it would be your throat not your phone wires.
Chris - I suspect that this was a two-legged rat with a step ladder.
Anti-technology comes in various guises. Boris has been on the receiving end of some boorish hacker behaviour. What's that phrase, "Life comes at you fast"? Can you imagine life without the Internet? For many where ever they go if they haven't got a trusty laptop wirelessly connected to the Internet - 'they are lost in France' and feel like Kings with no clothes.
