I have a proper job and usually spend 7 days a week doing it.
I am beginning to understand your point though Mark. I am packing in work and will then have all day to trawl through my bills and find out who is scamming me and for how much, as most of the service industry will at some point.
Nobody is scamming you apart from your daughter who was stealing from you by using a device which was BLATANTLY achieving nothing other than to bypass the controls you had put in place.0 -
"You can keep the self-righteousness as this is nothing to do with responsibility not shouldered on my part and neither is it to do with the buck stopping with my daughter who as i have said previously will be dealt with.
This is all about dodgy practise and a point of principle! "
Mr Lee, this US style "blame everyone but my daughter" attitude is what is making the youth of today as bad as they are. Too much, too young and no responsibility.
I have children, and my concerns are they get too much, know the cost of nothing and think they can get everything.
If your daughter has heard you shouting down the phone to VM do you think she will take any real notice when you decide to deal with her?
The solution is to get her a PAYG mobile. That way she quickly finds out how much it costs. Hasn't she heard of text messages?0
