It is nice to be remembered. Small town living.

Telkom did work in our area over the weekend and sent a text message to say so. Our ADSL went down Friday night / Saturday morning. My mom's ADSL was back by Monday morning; ours wasn't. We reported the fault. On Tuesday we got a call to say the guy would be over shortly. I raced home and waited. I phoned a number, spoke to a guy who said he would check the box and then come over. I waited. <br> <br> About 45mins later I called again and spoke to a lady. I asked if the guy was coming and said I was keen to head back to my mom's place to continue working (using her internet). She took my number so the guy could call when he got to my home. It takes me two minutes to get from my mom's place to mine. <br> <br> There I am working away and we hear a hooter toot outside; the Telkom guy. Tells us he'll meet me at my place. I head off behind him. He installed my mom's line in December and I saw him once or twice there. I asked how he knew to find me at my mom's place. He replies, \I know everyone in this town\". <br> <br> He'd remembered me and had connected me to my mom and our respective homes. We've only lived in Parys since December! Andries is the best Telkom guy around. He's friendly and efficient too."
