Things I wanted to shout out loud on the DLR today but didn’t for fear of being knifed*
1. “Turn your fucking music down. I can’t hear myself think!”
2. “Pull your trousers up! You’re waddling like a duck and look completely ridiculous”.**
3. “Close your legs, mister! Yes, you! I know you think you’ve got an enormous [...]
Today has been pretty dull and uneventful.
I have been at home most of the day, as I am still suffering from a nasty cold. Actually, I can’t believe how long I have been ill. It started on Tuesday last week, and I am still suffering now 12 days later. I initially felt sick and dizzy, [...]
In spite of risking turning into an Anne Robinson/Esther Rantzen hybrid (thanks, Mya ), I feel compelled to let you know the outcome of my latest consumer battle.
This morning, I received a £25 voucher through the post from Dorothy Perkins to compensate me for the green slime incident. They said they hoped it would ”restore [my] good faith in [...]
It’s grey and damp in Stratford this afternoon. I’m ‘off’ work today, yet so far, I’ve spent the whole day working. The frenzied teddy bear making of the last few days has meant that I didn’t get time to complete something that has to be done by today. Grrr.
God, I hate speech and language therapy. If anyone’s [...]
TalkTalk have finally got their act together and I now have broadband internet access at home. About bloody time, too.
I have been without internet access - whilst continuing to be being billed by them - for the last two months. I have made around 30 phone calls to try to sort this out, have been kept on [...]
Right. This is the last time I complain about TalkTalk on this blog. After this, no more. I promise.
Called BT. Gonna cost £125 to switch back to them due to the technology that the TalkTalk use not being the same as BT’s.
Will take 10 working days to switch.
Only then can I request Broadband from Waitrose (or whoever [...]
Regular readers of this blog will remember that, a while back, I wrote a riveting post about a paperclip which I had found in a biscuit I was eating. A couple of days later, having nothing better to do, I wrote a letter of complaint to Foxes outlining the trauma I had suffered. (Oh yes, [...]
… but still no bloody router.
Honestly, TalkTalk are the most un-customer-friendly company that I have ever come across. As I’ve explained in previous posts (zzzzzz …), my broadband was supposed to be up and running by 10th July. The line was installed, but the wireless router TalkTalk were supposed to send did not arrive.
Since then I’ve [...]
The Queen’s annual public accounts were published at the end of June. According to official documents, the royal family cost the British taxpayer £37.3 million last year. Her flunkies were quick to point out that this equates to “only” 62p per person - a bargain, apparently.
Well, £37.3 million a year is no bargain in my [...]
