Thank you Quam256 and dave_dph for your replies - also vhelper of Virgin Media, who contacted me privately.

The telephone lines are still off. They affect two streets apparently, and the reason is due to the copper telephone wires in the area being ripped up from underground and taken by thieves.

Normally, I would laugh out loud at a story like that....if it were not for fear of the fillings being stolen from my mouth!

Hopefully the telephones will be back on within 24 hours, but due to the copper shortage they're gonna have to improvise with plastic cups and a very long piece of string.
