Umm, the t**t word has always been 'swearing' as far as I know.

It’s actually fine downstairs and has been fine upstairs until the last few weeks but got slower and slower recently so that’s what I want them to check it out for but yes if they don’t get it sorted I will be having a further chats with them

A while back I teased my lovely DH for forgetting an essential item of shopping.
I called him a silly twat.
Grandchildren heard and went running to parents yelling 'Grandma swears and says rude words!'
Back in the day t...t was a loving word for clumsy/daft/idiotic.
Now, I believe, it has an entirely different meaning.

PS: It is a breach of contract if your broadband speed is not as they said when you took the contract or as implied in their advertising. You should insist on money back or even a new lower monthly rate. These companies do not have a problem if you demand some recompense. They WILL give you money if you stand your ground and sound as if you know the law. Of course BlueBell, I am only mentioning this I am not claiming you dont know or that you want to do what I said. Good luck.

LOL this is really funny. Unless of course, he is not as averse in digital communications as he says.

Today I had to have a phone consultation with a very nice man about my broadband being slow We got on very well he did various tests and is going to come back to me on Thursday to check how it is going
At the end of the call he told me I would get a text message asking about how well he’d done with the problem
I answered ‘that’s fine Paul I ll give you a big fingers up ‘
I put the phone down wincing realising my thumbs up had got the wrong digit
