    Tiscali for me, I hoep no-one loses thier job but that said I hope they get taken over by a company that understands the telecoms business, they simply do not.

    The most atrocious level of customer service I have ever come across.

    City Link couriers - their employees seem to collude in appaling service and lying to their customers.

    Having read the various nominations I'll second PayPal - their site seems to be designed to fob off any complaints rather than assist in making one. eBay is the same.

    I think with couriers it depends a lot on the driver on your route - I've never ever had a problem with CitiLink nad never ever had a first time delivery by Parcelfarce - I think their drivers must be Ninja trained to sneak "sorry you were out" cards through the door without you noticing when you are actually in.

    Others who desrve to fail for ridiculous pricing (none have harmed me because I'm too tight to pay those prices) are...

    Another vote for PAYPAL - I'd love to see them and their ridiculous charges disappear

    EBAY - Dont want them to go bust but would like them to have some competition so that they bring back realistic fees

    to anyone who wishes for bad tidings on their fellow countrymen and businesses, with fingers crossed as i type, i wish them right back on to you.,

    but, for anyone who lied to buy, mew'd, over stretched, over did it with the cards for nothing more than status and social climbing, living the "good life" your real means didnt entitle you too. if you ever looked down from your castle in the sky, belittled your fellow countrymen and uttered such a repulsive word as CHAV, then i wish the CHAV life for YOU.
