    Are they offering to backdate payment of 120 years worth of arrears? ;)
    No, but it could take 120 years to get your money out or to speak to customer service :D

    It will be another 63 years before tone dialling phones are invented. That could lead to some difficulties getting through.

    ... when you do get through, I'm sure you'll be advised that you can visit the yet-to-be created website to deal with most common account activities.

    I sent them an email to complain.  They replied and asked for my address so they could identify me.  I replied but my reply was sent back undelivered.  They sent it from an email address that you cannot reply to.  I therefore forwarded to a one they can (which is where I sent my initial one to). Plebs.
