Aye the standard of English has always been fine when i've called. After all, it isn't their first language and we're expecting them to understand a rant about a telephone charger!

I had to phone the warranty dept. of a well known copier/scanner/printer company recently.

 

Our machine was gubbed but still under warranty and i had to organise a replacement.

 

Conversation went something like this:

 

"Hello may i help you? This is Elvis speaking"

 

Me:"Elvis? Seriously?"

 

"Yes sir. How are the weathers you are having?"

 

Me:"It's Scotland mate. It's raining. Now about this printer......"

 

By this time i'm just pissing myself with laughter. To be fair to the bloke, he did get me a replacement machine......eventually.

Youse love us.

 

I never got the slightest bit of hassle when i was down there. Cockneys on the other hand.... :angry:

 

My mate works in a call centre for a leading bank, and he's the biggest pisstaker i know. Every time you phone they're going to be laughing around their office at your voice, what you say etc. It's the law in call centres, he says. :lol:

Rightly so, they'd be bored out of their tiny minds, otherwise!

Nowt to do with me! I've got the Nigerian flag because Obafemi Martins is Nigerian. It was Dixie before that.

 

I think that's pantone 300 btw, I only know that because I had to look up what the feck you were talking about. :lol:

Did the site make the little "level up" sound when you got to 20 posts?

Whats been bugging me of late is the call centres that ring me asking me to transfer money onto my credit cards. Or the worst yet was transfer the available balance on my card (few grand) into my bank account! How mad do they think I am. As soon as I answer I can tell they are trying to sell something so I start to say "no thank you, not interested" takes me an age to get rid of them.

 

Started hanging up on a few much to the disgust of my wife. Then she got one and was kept on the phone for ages :lol: Yes I know, only doing their job yadda yadda, but hwo about Im only trying to have a bit of peace after getting in from work!

 

Then, at work our banks (barlcays) call centre is india (or similar) and Id say maybe half of them I talk to are fine and the other half we really struggle with.

 

The worst Ive had was BT Broadband. Talk about steam coming out of my ears.
