Re: Any BTor engineers in the house?

Huh?! Isn't that what I said? Or am I missing something here?

Why is it flapping? Vandalism or accidental damage? Not too far from the playground which may be significant.

I think it's just been left unlocked. But you make a good point. Might prove to be a useful educational experience for the kids. Some of the more noisy of them could do with a short sharp shock laugh

These will be dealt with very quickly. Ring 151 and report it as cab door open, tell 'em your worried about kids playing nearby (the safety angle makes 'em jump). Look on Google maps and then say opposite number 1 (or whatever) Humphries Drive.
These reports come in all the time from third parties. To tell the truth they are usually Virgin cabs 95% of the time. They are a snip, and the engineers love 'em. They will even do an after hours call out to have them shut.

There was a Virgin cab on a busy road near us a year or so ago where the doors had disappeared! It's the route for a large number of revellers to walk home from watching Sky Sports at the biggest local pub, which may be relevant tongue. Even if such were not the cause, it was a notably risky place for such exposure.

I rang VM and reported it, took them 3-4 days to fix it.

There is a Virgin Cab near here and it is still open after 18 months!

It is on a popular route for students back from the pub ... and I understand that frequently they loose service around 23:00/00:00 ish but it recovers the following morning. Students apparently "relieve" themselves into the cabinet and now the pub has a notice asking them to refrain!

That's good - I suspect VM customers in your area. My parents have a VM cab outside their property, and its had doors swinging free for years. My parents have reported it to Eurobell, then Telewest, then VM, but all thats happened is someone turned up with some black tape! That lasted about 6 months until the glue went as you can imagine. I assume nobody in the road is a VM customer !
