@AnglianHelp I did. I was flabbergasted to hear there was no case to answer hence my post. I have just spent £1500 putting it right. The photos speak for themselves

@AnglianHome put in some windows at our home and think the meet acceptable standards of installation. 5cm unfilled drafty gap around whole window. Leaving a drafty and cold room. Judge for yourselves #windows #anglianwindows #npvcwindows

parents obsessed with keeping their kids busy with little time to play, read and use their imagination. as a gp, see so many 17yr and 18yr olds of helicopter parents who are burnt out and have no inner drive because they have been pushed from day one.

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@NickyAACampbell love your brekkie show, bit disappointed by lack of balance on your call. massive incidence of mental health issues amongst kids of pushy parents (academic and sport). particiption the key, most parents misguided. not enough kids know how to be bored at home.

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@virginmedia same advice. buy a booster. utterly useless. internet works perfectly for 7 yrs and then stops working and definitely isnt anything to do with router.

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

atrocious service from @virginmedia today. customer for 7yrs and cant offer any help for my faulty router

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@virginmedia yup. said ring customer services. rang them. got 80% through call and were going to book engineer after 30mins discussion. but cut off. and they didnt ring back.

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@virginmedia chat not working

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@virginmedia have rebooted hub 5x in last week. no change

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@virginmedia fully functioning router with 60mb/s speed for 7yrs across whole house and then suddenly wifi doesnt even reach the next room....and boosters are the answer! really? cat6 connection to router is giving 58mbs but when i disconnect it drops to 2mbs.

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@virginmedia yup. normal service. no issues.

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@virginmedia yup. customer 7yrs. wifi reach throughout 3 floor house. no black spots. 2 wks wifi only extending 3 metres ie room with box. drops from 60mb/s on ethernet cat 6 to 2mb/s on wifi if in next room. no explanation for sudden drop in performance. cust serv said "buy some boosters"!!

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@virginmedia thanks. let me know the rescheduled time

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@virginmedia no engineer to fix my internet until next week. really?

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@virginmedia the enginneer kneeling on the pavement with his head in a hole full of wires told me

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@virginmedia apparently network fault. engineer been. no network fault.....

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@virginmedia visit cancelled! still no internet #virginmedia #rubbish

atrocious treatment from @BlenheimTri #blenheimtri #bloodwiseblenheimtri . the parent of one of our team died and another got diagnosed with cancer, a few days before 2018 event, but they refused to defer our entry to 2019. #shamefull #Disgraceful

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@BlenheimTri i just received an invitation to enter the 2019. i was in a team for 2018 but one of the entrants mum died in australia the week of the event. & my mum contracted bowel cancer that same wk. we asked to defer our place. DENIED. not very charitable. #blenheimtri

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@matthewsyed but the less able kids do better because they are playing with good players all the time. so the overall standard is higher.

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@matthewsyed great podcast. interesting thoughts on winning and losing. the RFU has decided that all rugby under 11yrs should be non competetive and no matches are scored and no teams can be streamed on ability. there are no winners or losers, no A teams or B teams. any thoughts?

[The Doctor @eastsheendad]

@matthewsyed dont seem to mind. i think the rationale is that because rugby is so physical they want to keep kids in the game longer. or at least until the teens when all the physical development occurs. but lack of streaming impacts the fine motor skill improvement of the best kids
