w.atching the w.orld unw.ind

I was bamboozled into switching from BT to Telco (I’m not even giving them the courtesy of a link) and so far have seen no evidence of any savings. Admittedly, with Number One Daughter now home from Uni, and using t’Internet for job-hunting, and with statements arriving monthly instead of quarterly, it’d be difficult to compare.

But having paid the bill on Friday, on Sunday? they cut us off.

And the killer is, when we rang their “Customer Service Number” – and I use that phrase loosely – the recorded message said they weren’t going to be open on Bank Holiday Monday, oh and by the way, we’re not here today either.

So, a telecoms company that you can’t ring for a full 48 hours.

Mrs.D. has agreed to ‘discuss’ the matter with them today, as I fear that their recorded calls system might use my conversation as n example of a thoroughly pi55ed-off customer who could cheerfully rip their corporate head off and pi55 down their open neck.

* I’m part Mick and can pronounce “devil” howsoever I like. I’m in a “don’t mess with me” mood today – can’t you tell?
