@leatash Good news. I don't want to put off anybody who is happy with their supplier. Don
Because I maintain a lot of people's computers, I have had to deal with plenty of providers - BT, Talktalk, Utility Warehouse, Virgin, Sky, Aol. Their customer service is universally awful when things go wrong - they are always falling over themselves to put the onus on you to prove that it is their responsibility, as opposed to yours or BT's (as infrastructure providers) and some threaten charges ...
With no comment as to whether the account was hacked, it could be quite straightforward if one had access to the machine from which the application was used (or if the same password was used for other applications on that machine.)

@willosindawlish I am not clear what it is that you are saying. I know that this is a low crime area - that is the point. In the late Sixties I lived in Liverpool 8 (Toxteth) and, even then, the police patrolled only in armoured land rovers like an occupying army. Subsequently, I was in London for many years. When I moved to Teignmouth, I couldn't believe that the flashing blue lights were ...
There could be new road signs - "Dawlish Welcomes Careful Doggers" and the Town Council could issue dogging licences.
