Re: BT bashing

At the last place I moved to in the UK I contacted BT and asked them to transfer my old number to the new house; it was in the same area code. "Sorry, there is no phone line to your new address". "Yes there is; I'm looking at it." "Is it a new build?" "No, the property has been here around 150 years." Blah, blah, blah. Unable to convince them my address had ever had a phone line despite it having both a line and a telephone outlet box on the wall marked "BT". A couple of weeks later a bloke from BT turns up to install a phone line to the property "Oh! You've already got a phone line!"... Bashes head against wall.
