I get a nice warm feeling from wasting their time.Johnnyrvfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10760738027630644191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-15488491923487666002012-10-14T16:40:06.998+01:002012-10-14T16:40:06.998+01:00Sell me something better than this: (which I'v...Sell me something better than this: (which I've had for more years than I can remember).<br /><br />1) Pay £10 per month PAYG credit for my 02 phone and all calls to other 02 mobiles for free (which everyone else has because all other services are crap in these craggy climes) as are calls to BT landlines so calls to Mum & Dad would be free if they weren't dead.<br /><br />2) Get a 10% refund on 'top ups' for no particular reason but which means that some months I end up with more credit than I started with especilly when I have not needed to "text" prostitutes with my special requirements.bannedhttp://otherbloggersstuff.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-15254724154262715092012-10-14T15:15:54.811+01:002012-10-14T15:15:54.811+01:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hllDWSbuDsQhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hllDWSbuDsQmicrodavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01352078582764696261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-28526189392598435002012-10-14T09:40:31.248+01:002012-10-14T09:40:31.248+01:00In my new incarnation as a pauper, I have recently...In my new incarnation as a pauper, I have recently finished a stint at a notorious Bank's telephone call centre. You wouldn't believe the pressure people are under to sell sell sell.<br /><br />Folk call in to check their balances, the leave with a new account. Someone calls in to move some money, they leave with an ISA.<br /><br />The only thing that amazed me more, was how incompetant many people are with their finances.

And when they arrive denying all knowledge of such appointment.

I've been with them (mobile phone only) for years and they have never pestered me like this.
