I can't live without the internet!

Surely they would have laid down the cabling right at the begining of the construction, which might mean they just need to set up the actual connection to the exchange which means it should only take a few days at most!

Unless someone forgot to put the cables in :P

you will get an internet connection. Don't ask me when but they have set things up ready for a router for all the new buildings. Although like everything else it has been delayed.

Will we be reimbursed for the internet connexion delay? Not to sound obsessed, but we have paid for it and all within the accommodation price.

Yeah we will be reimbursed for it, although I can't imagine it'd be very much. Maybe a one week delay would put about a £10 credit on our accounts, lol :biggrin:

Bah ok then 4 pints and one packet of crips! :smile:

Cider used to be about 1.90 in my local pubs (which aren't local to me) but then about a year ago they all went to practically the same as beer. I'd say it averages 2.20 in Newcastle.

Aye pretty much say here, unless you go down the Red Lion where it's £1.30 for a Carlsberg all day Monday > Friday :biggrin:
