I'm trying to call Coop on 0345 721 2212 which is their published customer service number but for the past 1/2 hour I just get an engaged tone. Is this normal for coop? I'm used to being held in a queue if busy with most organisations, not getting an engaged tone.

Suspect they may have a technical issue with their telephone system.1

Thanks both. I thought it was strange to get an engaged tone. Never checked the status page because I'm not actually a customer yet, I wanted to check something before applying.Anyway, got through 10 mins ago so all is up and running OK now.0

People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
