Ahh the fond memories of hanging on for hours trying to get some PERSON on the phone instead of a badly programmed loop, the consistent way in which their engineers DON'T turn up at the appointment time or even day, or one one memorable occasion, month.<br /><br />Actually I'm surprised that BT have an engineer based in Bute, I'd have thought they'd parachute one in from Greenock as required; maybe they do, which is why the charge is so extortionate.<br /><br />Enjoy the bran, beware the methane.Twisted Scottish Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825025524038296192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-38260549637728486152011-11-16T15:58:42.662+00:002011-11-16T15:58:42.662+00:00Firstly, get cable.

The people that tout for signatures on the street are not usually from the charity in question. They are paid commission to get sign ups at an average of £20-£30 a pop. Therefore unless you are exceedingly generous, the charity won't see a penny of your money for a long time. They'd be better off if you just sent them a cheque direct.Aniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978191634506926045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-21538164741284997612011-11-16T09:17:08.293+00:002011-11-16T09:17:08.293+00:00How awful (and how awful for Inner Whispers, above...How awful (and how awful for Inner Whispers, above!), and sorry about the Dukan business too.

Ringing from the kitchen in the basement, "You have to ring from a different number to do the test." Well, we just have the one phone line. "What about a mobile?" <br /><br />In order to speak to the person on my mobile I had to go up to the third floor (we live on a hill, so of course the reception is sh**). "Please, madam, can you go and look at which lights are flashing on the router?" I troop downstairs, minus my mobile in case I lose the call by dropping out of coverage, then troop back up. "Ok, we'll just try something this end. Can you tell me which lights are flashing now?" I troop back down three flights and back up again. "Oh, that doesn't seem to have worked, can you try pressing the button with a phone symbol on it?" By this time, my 8 month pregnant self had had enough and I burst into tears. Our phone line is currently absolutely dreadful - crackly and the router drops out all the time - but I'm just too traumatised still to call them :(<br /><br />All of which to say GOOD LUCK! Knowing BT, you'll need it.Inner Whispershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577110987784585986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-79102417324290619682011-11-15T20:58:49.489+00:002011-11-15T20:58:49.489+00:00Love your arse description.
