Ta for the advice.

Went through all of that with the chap from BT this morning, but apparently it doesn't get me my final bill any quicker...

Given that it sits in BT's account earning them interest rather than you, you'll find that not clawing back your money from them will lead to fairy farts, hen's teeth and rocking horse dung.

At least acording to BT...

Isn't the "hand up the jacksie" supposed to be a little less obvious in these things?

That's what you took away from that clip?? Sheesh, worse than I thought!

That's rather unfortunate phrasing... :eek:

Don't you worry, it'll come off with detergent.

*sigh* well, at least it's been a while since you've been able to point out one of my unfortunate comments!:p

I've been trying to give it up - just in case I end up with a reputation.

*Another* reputation...

And how are you now? Banging your head against a different wall?

Evening.

It's true you know (and I say this as someone whose normal state is somewhere around the 'grumpy' mark most days). While a lot frustrates me, I really don't generally hate things...or people...or even fast moving, big hairy spiders...

To be honest, I don't believe there's much in the world to rate that level of effort on something so negative. So no, I don't hate as a rule.....

But I'm really starting to consider making the effort with BT! :mad:

This morning those bright young things over there at Billionaire Towers decided to take £58 from my bank account. Final bill? Nope - it's the (constantly incorrect) direct debit they've been taking for months now...despite me complaining every month, and them agreeing that it'll be reduced to £43 (every month).

And the reason it's been taken this morning?? Because they don't give you a final bill until up to 40 days after your service is cancelled (according to the chap who enjoyed my call this morning - who also told me that it was usually generated within 7 - 10 working days, but that BT like to use the full 40 days to 'help the customer'!!:mad::mad:), and, and while they're not giving you a final bill, the old payment regime stays in place...EVEN THOUGH IT'S ******* WELL WRONG!!! NNNNNAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGG!!

I didn't mind the council tax malarky - because that's largely my own fault. I don't even mind the horrendous water bill I paid this morning - because I like to be clean, and I understand that the water I use to enable this must be paid for....but for crying out loud, BT - who died and made you Hotel California??!! *twitch, twitch*

If anyone needs me, I'll be over here, rocking gently against the padded wall....

Aaaargh, on your behalf :mad: Nora, I HATE BT too. They kept charging me for a feature that I had cancelled. Every time I had to ring up, remind them I no longer had the feature, they would refund me on the next bill, but then charge me twice, once for the feature and once to cover the refund. (yes, really). It happened on four bills in total but since I got billed quarterly that was an entire year. The only way to stop it happening was to leave them. Never had a problem with the Post Office and I will never ever use BT again. Terrible, terrible. So I fully sympathise Nora.

Anyway, less blethering and more knitting, girl:D

Too many jokes, too little time!

Having the sulks today - and am a veritable joy to be with, I'm sure. Turning into a complete whingy pants (don't....just let it go, there's a chap), and massively demotivated today.

Can't. Even. Be. Bothered. To. Reach. For. Chocolate.... Send help.

S'ok, kitchen could do with a scrub down - so I shall be fine!

Yes boss. Is there a specific colour I should be concentrating on??

oh fabulous I HAVE to finally go and see Avenue Q now :j

EVERYBODY hates BT. I had a row with them every 3 months when they'd double my direct debit with no justification, then have to put it back down when I rang and pointed out that they were asked for more than twice my highest-ever call usage. Eventually told them to naff off and switched. Not missing them.


Sending chocolate...
