or utility companies, or councils, or virtually every organisation you try to deal with.
They are incompetent, ignorant and they lie to you.
I'm not putting up with any of them any more.
I got a refund from Barclays-they really have a nerve to call it 'customer services'.. think I told them that at the same time I told them they were liars. They finally admitted it's their fault. Will have another dig at them for not providing a return stamped envelope for their 'feedback' form..
After the recent publicity Barclays has had you'd think they'd get their act together..
Utility company are the next ones...told them they're getting a detailed letter which will include a bill for my time...and stress. Told 'em I'll be talking to my lawyer as well if they don't get their act together.
Love the hat Frank/Dad!
Right that's me for my rant today!! Off outside
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks for the link, blackest. I have installed the addon, since I always use firefox. i really like it and have found it more stable than Internet explorer. I already had the one that makes cookies self-destruct.
MMP, I've been with the so-op bank for 50 years and have always found them excellent. It's the bank with the highest level of customer satisfaction.
palaisgalide.. the flat cap info was i.. and i never thought of using one to my advantage.. great idea as i ranted about tailgaters.. hve my dear old grandads old one in the keepsake box.. will get it out next tiem go out for a sunday drive
Mummy. i also now change my car insurance every year.. i used to be with the same one for years and years.. but they were getting far to expensive.. and i hardly use my car (2000 a year now) so i do the compare sites and got the best one for me.. not always the cheapest but the best one.. first time i did this the old company when i rang to cancel asked why and how much i was now going to pay.. so i proudly told them some 150 less then them a year. and the girl replied "oh.. just let me look and see if i can do anything better than that for you now" i replied.. "no sorry your too late.. should have quoted your best price in my renewal quote, i have now changed over, please cancel it" they were not too happy.. but hey!
The whole insurance business is a jungle. If you actually claim, your premium goes up massively so you end up paying for things that actually covered by your insurance and keeping the insurance going just in case of a real disaster.

G/F I made extra Yorkshires today, all one size but three colours, Black lead, I had some left over from the kitchen range, gravy colour you would have to resist licking it as it is onion, also Tomato with cheese bits, I call it the pizza hat. Of course it depends on what you drive if it is an old NATO land Rover you would look like a Pizza hut on wheels.

Don't get me started on banks....

Thanks Blackest. Have installed both.
Need to see now if I can alter it.
Golly! The ads have disappeared. That's a result!
Thanks, Blackest.

blackest.. many thanks for those links..
Well done gardenf! When will companies stop treating us all as if we're 5 yrs old?
As we say up here- 'do they think we came up the Clyde in a banana boat'?

GG-that's why they treat us like monkeys...
