One of those days again, think I need to give myself a metaphorical kick up the arse.
You're right spring is just around the corner, and I do have one of the best views in Newcastle.

Thanks Shands and will be for some time I fear.
Got the mother of a hangover this morning. Why is it every time I've got a hangover the sun is in my eyes?

I hate it when the minute I walk into a shop the sales assistant is there in my face trying to sell me something.Electrical shops are by far the worst for this-its almost impossible to browse in peace without some bloke following you around hoping to be of some use.
And the other shops that are bad for this are bath product shops like Lush and the Body shop-I'm sick to death of unsolicited recommendations.

the same thing happened to me at the ASDA ATM last winter, 1am in the morning freezing cold i put my card in put the pin in and then the machine said updating, i waited 45 minutes for the stupid thing to update and at the end it kept my card, i phoned the customer helpline and got it sorted it only took 3days to get a new card, mind it did take an hour on the phone, bloody foreign call centres. I did recieve a mail a while back explaining your rights as a British citizen. Call centres if you are not happy with the fact that the call centre is in Abudarbi or where ever all you have to say politely is I cannot understand you can you please put an English speaking person on that I can understand. They will then transfer you back to this country and you will speak to a local centre. So I have been informed although I ain't tried it yet on account that I can understand Pakistani/Bengali/Indian speaking people because I have spent the last 35 yrs in bleeding London.. ;D ;D |

Yep here it is guys just dug it out from my old e.mails.
......................
Did you know that you have the right to speak to a UK person when you call a company for a service or whatever. I've done this when I simply couldn't understand the person talking to me.
But I never realised that this is a proactive way of bringing jobs back to the UK.
Do the following when you phone any customer service operation that is based in a foreign country. I have done this twice and it works!
Any time you call a company about a problem with a credit card, bank account, computer, product, etc and you are answered by a person in a call centre abroad, eg. in India, try this:
As soon as you realise that the customer service person is not in the UK (you can always ask if you are not sure about the accent), please very politely (very politely - this is not about trashing other cultures) say, "I'd like to speak to a customer service person in the United Kingdom."
The rep might suggest talking to his/her manager, but, again, politely say, "Thank you, but I'd like to speak to a customer service person in the UK .."
YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED to a rep in the UK.. It only takes a few seconds to have your call re-directed to the UK .
Tonight when I got redirected to a UK rep, I asked again to make sure - and yes, she was in Swansea.
Imagine if tomorrow, every UK citizen requests a UK rep, how that would impact the number of extra UK jobs needed.
Imagine what would happen if every UK citizen insisted on talking to only UK phone reps from this day on.
Remember - the goal is to restore jobs back here at home - not to be abrupt or rude to a foreigner.
If you agree, please tell 10 people you know and tell them to tell 10 people they know.
