Thieves.

Since late Friday afternoon most telephone lines have been off and some internet connections in West Cumbria.Going by the local news copper thieves have caused the problem.There are still some people with out phone/internet connections at this moment.Luckily my phone line was OK. but had no internet till the early hours of this morning.

Some poor family could have been wanting the emergency services and struggled because of these thoughtless actions. :emoticon-0179-headbang:

Aye copper is a very valuable commodity these days and Christmas is coming, that only means more pressure to raise cash for the kids prezzies. The old Ravenscraig site has been a THRIVING business for the copper diggers for years now, thankfully though they cannot affect domestic electricity supply from there.

 

10's of THOUSANDS of £'s have been taken since the place closed and i know almost everybody that does it, those who were in at the start are not struggling with their fuel bills i can tell you that.
