Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

I really don't give a crap about Christmas ATM.

It doesn't help not knowing what time we are finishing on Christmas Eve, as our (expletive) of a boss won't say, last year we were told in early December, and nobody will dare ask as the last time someone did he lost it and said FULL WORKING DAY.

But every year we go through the same crap knowing that it will be a 12 noon finish.

I can't wait to tell him with a diagram where he can stick his job.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Train companies, I wish they would train their staff better. Relative had to change travel plans, and we were told that both tickets she had for travel last Friday were valid for travel for 5 days afterwards, yet today on the train she finds out that Virgin CS woman (who was in the black hole of Calcutta and spoke very poor English) was wrong and the ticket for the second half of the journey was wrong. So cost her £35 on the train. Spitting feathers now, and seriously considering complaining to Virgin about it.

I was recently buying a new car, but still had my old one for various reasons, so called up my insurance company, and went through to an Indian call centre, and talked about moving the insurance over to the new car, and keeping my old car on there as a secondary car until I sold it - not a problem, the premium went up by about £20, but essentially meant that both cars would be covered until I got rid of the other one.
There was a conversation that consisted of "So, that will cover both cars - correct?" - "Yes".
Great I thought, I will call back in a few days to finalize. So I did - and then spoke to a local call centre - they then told me what I wanted wasn't possible, and what the lady had actually been doing was swapping the insurance to the new car, and leaving my old car uninsured - so I would have been driving around uninsured - which would have been great when I got pulled over....

It might save the companies money, but causes so much aggravation for the customers. If they have to have the call centre in India, at least get people who can speak a standard of English.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Went down to Tenby today for Xmas (rest of family coming tomorrow). Torrential rain most of the way especially after the Severn Bridge. Majority of drivers ignoring the bad weather notices and 50mph limit. Amazing the number not using any lights

House fine but has Sky. TV OK as it has movies. Broadband carp as only 20Mb compared with 200Mb and laptop insisted on updating itself.

Still could have been worse as we thought of going to Keswick as we did a few years ago.

I appear to have finished off my 40 pints of Christmas homebrew ale and it's not even Christmas yet

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Had to develop something of a strong right arm today, a relative this morning while I was asleep dropped the toilet duck down the toilet as it flushed. Rather than try and reach down to see if they could fish it out, decided to flush a second time which has resulted in the toilet becoming blocked. Dynorod came out and they tried to remove it but it is now too far lodged in.

Need to wait until Tuesday now for a plumber from them to come out and drill the toilet off the wall as the screws used originally are rusted in and they won't come out with a screwdriver. So now with 2 Sunday opening hours in supermarkets we are screwed. Had I been awake I would have said reach down and see if you can grab it but it was all over by the time I awoke.

Great end to Christmas. NOT!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

It was nearly finished, so they were flushing the last bit out of the old one but they dropped it as it flushed. Sadly never thought of trying to grab it before flushing a second time. So today we've been relying on Sainsbury's and Tesco, which was only a small window given it is Sunday hours. Thankfully, Tesco open at midnight tonight so I might well be there when they open up!
