"British Telecom 'engineers' broke into my home"
although a "statutory right of entry" existed back then, It wouldn't be executed without the owner being present (and/or police) - the legal implications are mind-boggling... Having been an "engineer" (thanks for belittling my trade with quotes btw. tosser) for many years, I never even heard of it being done, ever. I suspect this is embellishment to make a story.
"stole the phone" the phone wasn't yours. End user equipment was rented back then
who leaves guinea pigs running around the house?... dirty man.
