Additionally he had a very thick asian accent, which made it difficult, but we can't say that, can we?

You just did. I like to play the "I think you may be a scammer card" when I don't want to proceed with a call anyway, got a call about signing up to a smart meter, although he didn't say it was that kept mispronouncing surname even though it is spelt phonetically. ME: No one with that name lives at that address, caller:" I didn't give an address", Me:"goodbye".

Although I did genuinely think I got one the other week, but it was just a half-wit from a outsourced payroll provider who kept repeating something inaudible and "solutions" , but this wasn't the company who I had a contract with. Told him to speak clearly or I would hang up.

Sounded like a guy with a Pakistani background, apparently based in Manchester. Called back later spoke to a lovely professional and competent woman who was also probably Asian from her accent and the name she gave. All sorted out.

If people can't be arsed to tailor their communications effectively to be able to do their job effectively, why make excuses?

Same rule applies to Scouse or Jocks working in a call centre (covering international or a wide geographical area) doesn't it?

So we sit down for Tea last night.

I tell the wife Sorry love.......you are going to have to ween yourself of dysfunctional housewife's, and 1000 llb Sisters etc.

Her reply is far to graphic to repeat on this great site. ;-)

She Phones Sky up. Tells them straight, absolutely no way we are paying £107 for television in the current economic climate.

Sky replied, they have been inundated with customers looking to cancel because of electric/Gas prices.

They reduced the price to £70 a month for the next 18 months for our existing package. In my opinion that is still a bit too much, but much more bearable. I think that is a saving of £576 over 18 months.

So get on the phone Blues.

You dont have to give them your life story.

Just tell them straight Gas/Electric price rises mean you can no longer afford the price.

Don't be embarrassed, if you don't ask you don't get.

The woman at the other end of the Phone said we could have got an even better deal had we had their broadband. I have a rule against lumping everything in one package though. Many prefer it. I personally think it is harder to get out later on,plus lets be honest Virgin broadband is the best there is, super fast and reliable.

Good luck Blues.

Can’t get my head around you.

How can you be “saving” anything here?

Fuck it off and get the lot on IPTV for about £10 a month.

£25 a year off a fine upstanding gentleman on here. Never an issue and streams for the footie in UHD that look better than paid for TV.

I bet it's a 'UHD' stream of an HD channel source and probably 25 frames per second on top of that.
