Nov. 1st, 2004 02:44 pmNot so much a tale as a warning:
Today we had a Telewest engineer round to fix my land line. Coming back after making a cup of tea, my gran - who was the only person available to stay home at such short notice - found the guy, who she thought had left, using my PC.
We have broadband, and even if it had been a broadband issue, last time I had a broadband issue, they refused to touch the machine unless I was there. Finding the guy still there has scared the wits out of my gran, who only realised he *was* when he coughed.
So, if you're having ANYONE round, even if they're from a company you trust - take the time off, don't leave it to your gran.
