NTL junction box smashed to smithereens

I will give credit where it is due:

Yesterday, a fatal car accident nearby my house, smashed the NTL cabinet into smithereens, I mean completely demolished by a lorry, all I could see was a pile of spegetti, the cabinet was a pile of scrap metal.

NTL started recontructing the cabinet and rebuild the inside this morning and hey presto!! I just got my TV and broadband back, still waiting for the phone to come on. I call that pretty efficient !!!

Good to see NTL speedy reactions. Shame the drivers reactions had not been that quick and the cabinet would not have been smashed.

He's not, he's pointing out that the person's life was more important than a smashed cabinet.

Re: NTL junction box smashed to smithereens

I obviously did not mean it like that, obviously the persons life is more important. Being honest and I suspect anyone is a liar if they say they would care more about someone they didnt know dying than them not having any TV, Telephone or broadband for two weeks because of it.

I WOULD care more about a person - even if i DIDN'T know them than being able to make phone calls watch tv or use the internet.

But then that's just me.

So which is it with YOU? because you say one thing in your first sentence - then say that you suspect anyone that thinks that is a liar?

Do you consider yourself a liar?

SOME people are quick to forget things. That is a MAJOR generlisation.

We ALL react in different ways, all I'm saying is that it's not fair to say that 'anyone' would act in the same way, I know I wouldn't as I've not been raised that way.

Sunday, it is still dead, CS closed for the week end, so it is a BIG thumbs down for NTL.
