Surrey Phil Jul 2023 4:47pm, 11 Jul 2023 9,550 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Trying to work from home with noise. Yesterday it was screaming children next door. Today it's their dogs barking followed by a cold caller trying to make me switch broadband provider.

Fragile Do Not Bend Jul 2023 3:48pm, 12 Jul 2023 11,343 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend That’s one of the things I love about living in the countryside, no cold callers. Well, apart from Jehovah’s Witnesses - they probably get them on remote Scottish islands.
Surrey Phil Jul 2023 7:28pm, 14 Jul 2023 9,564 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Apart from the children, it's the same day as at the top ^^^. Dog barking non-stop followed by a cold caller while I was trying to finish my work off. Trying to decide whether I need to get one of those stickers from our Neighbourhood Watch guy or if it's really my fault for not looking out of the bay window when the doorbell rings.
ChrisHB Jul 2023 1:58pm, 18 Jul 2023 22,561 posts	Quote Pin ChrisHB I'm trying to move our wifi router a couple of feet, from the floor to a bookshelf about 30" higher. There are SIX cables attached to it, from all directions. The cables are not long enough to give much flexibility. I also want the result to be reasonably good-looking.
