In reply to a post by RobertoS:

But Openreach do not charge the end user. The laziness is incidental to the fact that BT Infinity and its charging structure from BT Retail is not resold by anyone.

I suspect the problem is that OpenReach still has a (small) BT logo on their vans. They should get rid of that, and just be OpenReach Ltd. Maybe all the shares can be owned by British Telecommuncations Plc at the top

The general "BT" that people use is in this complex regulated world too generic.

Any idea of the biscuit preference of the Open Reach engineers ?

From what a couple have said on here then fig biscuits are very rare and much treasured.

Which isn't much use if the particular engineer doesn't like them.

Ah, the persuasive power of the maligned fig newton.

Malted milk, and a decent cup of tea can sometimes do the trick.

Them half chocolate Balkusen ones are funky too !

"Them half chocolate Balkusen ones are funky too !"

You probably mean Bahlsen Choco Leibniz, in which case I deffo agree. I'd post a link but their website is comprised of useless Flash. Try a supermarket site instead; apparently Waitrose [1] had them half price earlier in the year but I missed it. I think I've seen them cheap in Aldi too.

Where were we?

Yeah, that'd be them. Too busy stuffing them in me gob to read the spelling !

Ah yes the German Bahlsen Leibniz Choco dead cheap in Germany when I lived there and cost and arm and a leg here

Well I guess I will have to look in Tesco's on my way home from work on Wednesday, too tempting to buy now as I am sure by the time Thursday comes and the man from Openreach arrived in the afternoon, the biscuit tin might stand a very good chance to be quite empty

Steve

better still, i always prefer a bacon sandwich to a biscuit any day

Sadly a Jewish household here
