Union tells BT: Commit to pay rise talks next week or else

Mr. V. Meldrew

Get your ladders out!

Ah back to the good old days. (strange time shifting background noise) the heady days of '87.

Me, a humble 27 year old self-employed guy, a telephone engineer by trade, yet self employed, unusual I guess in them days.

Then came along the BT strike! Wow what a bonanaza . Business and residential faults every hour, take your pick. Clearly only on the subs wiring (cough, cough) not on the precious jewel of BT's network of copper aluminon and lead sheathed cable.

That strike really did affect subs (customers), many who relied on the phone, roll forward to today. There are still many subs who rely on landlines. I just hope in this corporate world that the "little" sub is still looked after.

If your ex BT, get your ladders out!
