Inspired by Cazi

I took this last week but I haven't been able to post it as we've had no phones or internet.
A wagon load of sheep went down the lane and took the phone line with it.
This left our little community even more cut off than usual.
After loads of calls by everyone to BT they finally came out this morning (15th) after 8 days and reconnected us.
I would like to take this opportunity to say how useless they are at communicating...
for a telecommunication company.... but I don't know enough swear words.
In the words of their own TV ads "It's good to talk"!!!

See the inspiration HERE

Fantastic image... -- I can never get these guys to keep still! (V)
(And if you think BT are bad, then you should try Orange, Sky or Virgin... -- they're even worse!?!)
