When one looks up the definition of species there seems to be some disagreement among biologist as to what defines a species (go ahead look it up on Wikipedia). Some biologists define a species as one which cannot mate with another species and produce a viable offspring. Others use a different definition. If biologists cannot agree on the definition of species, how can they determine if a species has evolved into another species or not? For example, recently we hear a lot about the Neanderthal species of humans which went extinct 30k years ago, but that they’re still part of our genetic make up today. But if they were a separate species, as claimed, then we should not have been able to mate with them successfully. In other words, they were not a separate species in the first place. At least by the most commonly used definition of species. And also, we breed dogs into any shape size color we want, but we have never bread a dog into a new species, why? (Now I’m talking about normal breeding, not genetic modification) We breed mice and fruit files in the lab into anything we want but we have never been able to breed them into a new species, why not? Perhaps we have been creating new species if you use some new definition. This is where the evolution theory remains a bit questionable, in my eyes. I don’t think it is complete, there is something missing.

So stay warm.

I cannot believe that BT, one of the world’s biggest businesses can’t grasp the concept of addressing these most pressing issues and kill a bird with two stones, because they’d then be providing SOME sort of GOOD customer service.

We have holiday Lodges, one of which we have been living in with phone and Broadband connected for our business, we had a new Lodge built on site just a few yards from the others so when it was completed we phoned BT to get the phone and broadband transferred, simple enough you would think!!!

It was arranged that BT would come on Monday 9th June to connect to the new Lodge then Open Reach on the Tuesday to put in the phone and broadband.

No one turned up on the Monday but they still disconnected the phone and broadband. Nor did any one bother to let us know that they couldn’t make it.

On the Tuesday Open Reach arrived to connect inside the house, but of course he couldn’t as no one had been to connect it to the outside of the house.
He said it would be a few days before anything could be done.
When we asked if he could reconnect the phone again he said that our number had been cancelled and given to someone else and broadband had also been cancelled.

So we were left trying to run a business with no phone and no Internet.

My husband and I had to use our mobiles at great expense to try and get some one in India to try to explain to us what was going on, we both got very frustrated and so did they hanging up on us twice which is unacceptable and disgraceful.
Eventually the phone was connected in the new lodge but still no broadband.

After a few days we managed to get to speak to some one in India that we could actually understand and could understand us, he sorted out a dial up connection for us.
He also said that we needed a new contract for Broadband even though our contract hadn’t run out. It took three weeks to get everything sorted out and not once did BT apologise.
We lost customer bookings, had expensive calls on our mobiles and all because of BT’s incompetence.

It is absolutely disgusting the way they treat you, even a simple phone call gets you passed from one office to another forever listening to music, and then getting cut off when you have been hanging on for 20 minutes.

I only hope that I never have to deal with BT again.
