I live in the area that was cordoned off for most of the morning. I took some cups of tea out to the police who were redirecting people and managing the road closure etc. They said they were surprised to be attending this kind of incident in LL. But a person died. Parents no longer have a son, people have lost a friend. What does it matter what postcode it happened in?

Sure is! Next meeting is next Thursday at the Cherry Tree - the book is Autumn by Ali Smith. You'd be more than welcome - send me a message if you'd like any more details :) JDolman Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Hi guys, is this still a regular thing?

I must have just gone round after you - they said the same to us, that they'd be stopped in like 20 minutes (so I guess 10pm). They don't even open until 10am so don't understand why it all needs to be done so late at night. Didn't look like they were finished last night either, so assume there'll be more to come.

If they're still working on the fitting rooms then they must be the fanciest fitting rooms the world has ever seen... Am about to go and have a word.. Again.

I live next door and have been trying to work out where the noise was coming from but it all makes sense now! And it's definitely the shop? Might pop round myself as well then.

Sorry, meant to do this earlier but just to say we're meeting the cherry tree this evening, 7.30pm for an 8pm start. Everyone welcome :)

Just wanted to give this a wee bump to say that we're meeting next 7.30pm Thursday 20 September, 7.30pm most likely at Terriors - and the book we're discussing is His Bloody Project by Graeme Macrae Burnet. Please come along if you fancy :)

Just to say we've set up a WhatsApp group and are developing a list of books and sorting out our first meeting, so if you'd like to be added please let me know :)

Thanks everyone who has sent me their emails so far - I've got quite a few!! Will maybe wait until the end of the weekend and then send something out xx

Im happy to have a go at setting one up - it looks like there's enough people interested? Maybe if everyone who'd like to come could DM me your email and we can try and find a date and a book?

I would also be interested!! Or up for starting one?

We are still waiting for it to be fixed...seven weeks and counting. Have put in a formal complaint - were told they'd respond in three working days, which they did, to say they'd respond in two weeks, which was just over a week ago. Hey, who needs the internet anyway....

Our fix date has been pushed back again to the 23rd now, like you Jagrass. I am calling later to make a formal complaint, and see what we can get out of them, then we'll probably cancel. MissWiggy - do you know how long it will take to get Sky set up? And do you have any details on the 1 month BT contract?

Our latest fix date is this Wednesday I believe, but yes, it does seem like they pluck them out of thin air. And if it's a problem in the area, as we've been told, surely it would all be fixed at the same time. If we'd switched when the problems started we could have been up and running with someone new by now...!

We've just been given a new fix date of 18th October. Which will be four weeks since it stopped working. Sigh indeed.

We are on Lordship Lane and have now been without internet since 21st September. We?ve been given about four different fix dates, (which we have had to call Virgin to find out), all of which have been and gone with no fix and no communication from Virgin. We?ve incurred costs calling Virgin 6 or 7 times now, and on Friday were cut off twice, before finally getting through to someone who gave us a fix date and then hung up. The most technical information we've got from the as to what the problem is is that it's a 'complex problem'. We?ve had to continually ask them to take money off our bill (why should we be paying for something we can?t use). We?ve also asked them to cover other costs, eg having to buy extra data for phones, the cost of subscription services we can?t use (Netflix, apple music etc), cost of phone calls, and compensation for general inconvenience, and have been told that ?this isn?t our policy?. The most recent fix date we?ve been given (given on Fri 6th after that fix date came and went), is tomorrow at 2.30pm. Fingers crossed eh.
