Devil in the Detail

It's mid November and not a key struck in the old blog. So what's been up? Well, firstly I've been finishing off a response to the 'Better Health, Better Care' document, which is due in tomorrow. Secondly, I've had the cold. And last but not least,my broadband is b****d at the mo.

I thought at first this was a virus. It was actually a 'you've-been-on-overdraft-for-one-nanosecond-you-dumb-stupid-peasant-so-we'll-muck-up-your-direct-debit-charge-you-£20-for-a-5p-envelope-and-the-spittle-that-the-dumb-blonde-uses-to-seal-it-and-then-we'll-pay-your-next-invoice-but-not-the-last-one-to-really-muck-things-up' virus, courtesy of Halifax.
So I phoned up Demon to put it right. The chap on the other end apologised and said that he could not fix it, because- wait for it- their computer system was down.

Demon. Broadband. Computer Engineers. Broken Computer System. Someone join the dots please?
