    That's why I have invoked Martin! We need the French system. They wasted HOURS of my time. It really needs regulatory action - it was the same last year. Takes 2 mins to sign up and 4 hrs to leave.

    The fact is that with all these cashbacks around the retention teams can't come close no matter how hard they try - I signed up with TMobile Via Quidco for about £1 per month for 500 mins and 500MB internet.

    I like the system in France whereby you send a text to 3179 and immediately receive back your RIO (French for PAC)

    Have you ever chewed chewing gum? Have you ever stepped on a bit of chewing gum and tried to get it off your trainers?

    Despie possibly enjoyed it when chewing the minty bit of gum, I be you wished it was banned when you are trying to get rid.

    That's 3.

    Actually, I think I have a better one.

    Last verse of the most famous song by the Eagles sums it up perfectly.

    Last thing I remember, I was
    Running for the door
    I had to find the passage back
    To the place I was before
    "Relax, " said the night man,
    "We are programmed to receive.
    You can check-out any time you like,
    But you can never leave! "
