Having problems with Openreach ? What would you do ? 
Right then, it's Friday afternoon
and I am having a bad day 
Been trying to get "legitimate and lawfully due" wayleave payments from Openreach for several years
It is my considered opinion that they just do not want to part with any wayleave payments and just either give you the run-around or don't reply to emails or letters
.They are that f#+ki*g dull that you are expected to send them a map of where their "ID tagged & numbered" telegraph pole is located
Found email addresses for 17 heads of departments of Openreach so thought that a multi email shot would be step one ?
Low and behold I get a automated reply from a big chief kahuna at the SW1 9HA HQ telling me that he is on holiday but by all means contact "janet" at Openreach and he is thoughtful enough to also give his mobile telephone number "in case it is a urgent matter"
Now I don't know if me and Mr Richard Allwood are ever going to be the best of friends in the future
but I have just sent him a text in the middle of his holidays "asking him if my missing wayleave payments are being used to fund the office Christmas party ? 
Not only did these so called
telecommunication engineers 
put their bl##dy annoying pole in the middle of a plot but they also left the old abandoned wire stays tethered into a hedge in two places Remedy One >
Test the pushing power of a chunky bit of farm machinery ? Remedy Two >
Train a pet Woodpecker 
Remedy Three >
Sharpen the chain on my big Husky ? 
Can't see that Openreach can just do as they please and put a telegraph pole anywhere they choose
without consulting the land owner ? Do I need insurance in case the old Fordson runs out of control ? would a dodgy parking brake be classed as a act of God ?
need input Thanks
Phil
