Searching is easy just enter a keyword such as Canal or Railway or Raven House and it will show you what’s already there. If you’re really keen you can use the advanced search to refine what you’re looking for. You can also check out the timeline and proposals for the heritage trail, coming soon.

So far we have about 500 records up there but there are another 2000 to go so we need more volunteers to train on how to prepare records to be uploaded. Interested? Contact  us at trustees@adderleyheritage.co.uk and we can arrange a short training session and you’re on your way.

Slamming!

Last week we posted information about communications from BT saying that they thought we were leaving them for another supplier. We later learned that people with Sky were also affected by these spurious e-mails. If you missed it you can read the piece here.

We contacted BT who said they didn’t know who had requested the change (companies can do that?) but they had cancelled it. Then on Wednesday we had a letter through the post telling us, again, that we were leaving BT. We contacted them again and, yes, the system said we were leaving to a company called IVS, who don’t seem to exist. This time we escalated, got an apology and reassurances that it was definitely cancelled.

What happened next? We were put in touch with OfCOM. They told us that the practice was called Slamming where a third party cancelled your line without your permission and then offers you a new service. How can this happen? OfCOM are now investigating. If you have been a victim of this Slamming you are urged to contact OfCOM 0207 981 3040. They were very helpful and have promised a response in the next 5 days. We wait and see.

So see you Saturday 10:30 till 12:00 and why not bring along a friend or two. Adderley Village Hall 10:30. Go on, spoil yourself.
