JawD 99 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) Will companies stop getting people who have a thinnest grasp of the english language to ring me to sort out my personal affairs! Just had some twat ring me asking if I wanted to keep my Broadband Dog at my old address? You wha? Yes, Broadband Dog? Anyway, I tried to explain after several attempts that whatever it was at my old address he was talking about I wouldnt want it as Id moved, hence its my old address. No doubt I'll get home tonight to find I have no phone. Yes, it was BT (Bangladeshi Telecom I assume?) Edited April 29, 2008 by JawD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learnt to be patient in these scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 With ebookers I sometimes end up in Bombay or somewhere. I've learnt to be patient in these scenarios. The trick is trying to be patient with someone with barely no grasp of english that is just calling up and trying to sell you something you don't need. Especially when they give you some western name that clearly isn't there own. I believe that was how Yoda got so powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) But I just keep imagining: "You wan broadband dawg? with ringdings?" I had to ring HSBC yesterday as they hadn't amended the standing order for my rent (they were obviously confused as it was a different amount and reference but to the same sort code/account). A foreign gentleman answered and I could only just contain myself as he said "eez eet to go to the same sort code and bank account madaaaaaam", sounded the double of Fonejacker. In fairness he was very helpful. Edited April 29, 2008 by alreetlike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) Speaking of good service. My mate order an Abercrombie and Fitch top off t'internet' He's seen a one a bit cheaper but he decided to go through the offical UK site. Anyway, it was too big so he wanted to send it back. It turns out even the UK site gets the stuff sent direct from the US. His options are he can sent it back and get a new one, incurring about another £35 worth of postage or you can save time (according to them) by going into your local store, the nearest one being in London.

Gejon 2 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Aviva are starting to bring their call centres back to the UK again. A reason has never been given but hopefully other companies will follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curry stained pilchard 0 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I got a call on my mobile the other day telling me that I had "won a free design for a kitchen". I pretended I misheard and got excited that I had won a free kitchen. They corrected me, but I still went on as if I'd won a free kitchen. They then asked if I was a home owner, and I replied "I'm homeless" and went silent. The wife started laughing, and I told her it wasn't funny. She agreed, stopped laughing, then hung up! N.B. I'm not really homeless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
