It's OK. Google (DNS) came to the rescue.

My plusnet went away last weekend, back mid-Monday, down yer in Wessex. I assumed something big needed changing at BT, looks like it's yours turns this weekend.

Is it me or is it slightly ironic to post on a web forum that the internet isn't working ?

It's just been on the radio news. BT fault, patchy but UK wide.

Unfortunately I cant find a way of doing it on chrome running on a PC.

That's because it won't in Chrome, but your system networking settings. On Mac you can go to System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> DNS and set your DNS servers there.

Can't comment on Windows, but I'm sure someone knows how to do it.

According to BT and not the BBC they are investigating. Compo for a 3 hour outage, hahahaha!

Three hours for some, thee days for others, and not for the first time. If ICBA to add up over a year, it might be worth asking. It's not yet as bad as VM was, though.

The people who have had 3 days is due to cable theft so probably a different issue. I'm sure they'll probably offer something there.
