🌧️ Storm Bram Wreaks Havoc on Local Business! 🌧️
Meet Jane and Alan, the resilient owners of a dreamy glamping spot, Felin Geri, in picturesque Cwm Cou, Newcastle Emlyn. Imagine a place with luxury safari tents and private hot tubs where you can unwind at The Mill cafe and bar. But, a recent ordeal has them tearing their hair out! 🙇♀️
Since early December, when Storm Bram swept through, their adventure hub has been in turmoil. A toppled tree took down a telephone pole, snapping their fibre broadband line. While the pole’s been replaced, the broadband isn’t, leaving their tills and booking systems in the dark. It’s like trying to run on empty! 💔📉
Jane, 67, is at her wit’s end. “Our business is so reliant on the internet,” she shares. “I can’t finish a VAT return, update our Facebook, or even let people know our cafe is open!” She further recounts a scary Christmas incident when a freak accident left a guest injured and unreachable due to the WiFi woes. 📵
The struggle’s real trying to get answers from BT and Openreach. “It feels like I’m going in circles,” Jane vents. “Every time a van shows up, hope flares up only to be dashed—the silence is deafening!” 🚐
BT and Openreach have both apologised, citing dreadful weather as the culprit for delays. Future plans? Engineers are expected back soon, weather permitting! 🤞
Sending Jane, Alan, and everyone at Felin Geri positive vibes for a speedy internet connection. Who knew being offline could cause such chaos?💡
