Am i the only person who feels that when they get through to the automated call center i have accidentally called the village idiot? It is ok right up to the point when the lady robot says the numbers.
"bla bla bla ( all going well so far ) press oneeeeeeeee
bla bla bla ....... press twoooooooooo
bla bla bla ....... press threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."

I am waiting for it now and it feels the numbers last even longer to the point i have forgotten what she said before the numbers lol.

Use the robot woman who does Orange. Thanks Virgin

Very annoying but it is modern telephony and VM are one of thousands who annoy people with these silly machines....

It can't be as bad as the O2 woman...

How long does it take the O2 woman to say 'one'?

A lifetime, as she is always starts off with trying to flog you stuff you're not interested in.

I have heard many many automated call services before this one - i used to like hearing the Orange lady and often imagined what she would look like - my thoughts were that she was probably not as sexy as i imagined. However... if the woman doing the voice for Virgin does NOT look like a bored orange tanned blonde haired pink accessorized doctors receptionist doing her nails i will eat my hat.
Who ever chose her voice for the job is also an idiot.

I should add that the O2 woman is also extremely annoying because she tries her utmost to make everything sound exciting. Erm, I'm just trying to top up. There's no need to get your knickers in a twist.
