The Oxford Times has heart wrenching tales such as:
Mr Dore said: "I usually watch the news in the afternoon, but when we got
back there was nothing there.

"My wife usually watches the soaps, like Coronation Street and Emmerdale, in
the evenings while I go out and walk the dog. She will have to come with me
now."

Helen Redfern, from Southmoor, near Abingdon, is at home with a bad back.

She said: "I'm annoyed and I'm pretty bored

Does no-one anywhere in Oxfordshire have access to Virgin Media cable,
Sky satellite, Tiscali TV or BT Vision? No BBC iPlayer?

She could still watch Channel 5, which wasn't affected.

Given some reports of the seriousness of the fire, and worries about

service was restored.

It wasn't as serious as they originally thought. Seems there wasn't much
if any structural damage just a few burnt panels and cables.


Has happened before, pity they didn't have an angle grinder handy to
hack away at the ice on the ladder;!...

Perhaps if the book contained vouchers towards the cost of adult

I'd assumed the reason the IP posted this to uk.d-i-y was because
having no signal enabled people in Oxfordshire to break free from the
hypnotic effect of TV and do some DIY.

The book I suggested was, of course, the Collins manual...
