A mini rant and bit like a certain poster who hates Sky. But why do the larger organisations no longer give a **** about its customers? If it something they can easily resolve you might just might get a resolution. Anything harder than lifting up a 5p piece then you are in the ****ter. I no longer shop at Asda, meaning I have a 20 minute extra journey to the next supermarket. Reason - they couldn't give a **** when their own branded nappies ripped open whilst my son was asleep and the tiny little beads that soak up faeces and urine went everywhere. I will never ever consider Talktalk again. If you happen to be with this **** stain of a company and you have any issue then record all details yourself as in my experience the staff do not make notes or make conflicting notes so that when you have to involve a 3rd party you are screwed. BT's customer services are woeful no matter what the issue is. In the past their Executive department have been good at sorting issues out but not anymore. Therefore another company I will leave as soon as possibly can. Now for the couriers - all of them are ****stains. Not one of them gives a **** about your parcel nor you when they mess up. Sadly, the companies you order from always go for the cheapest and sod the customer. Hermes - nah. Yodel - nah. I won't have these skid marks on my doorstep. Anyone else have similar gripes or are my expectations unrealistic?
Asda are ****, I've just bought four teacakes and I've just realised they have to be eaten by tomorrow. And I paid full price for them. Oh well, here goes...
I have that as well (thanks to a family member so I don't pay for it) Also have Amazon Prime - originally as we get about 20 or so items from Amazon each month so it makes sense.
Do 'teacakes four ways'; 'classic' butter, 'retro' cottage cheese and marmite, 'daring' sweet chilli sauce and 'what the ****' salmon paste from the back of the fridge.
I've had two already, classic butter and (mature) cheese. I like the thought of the daring sweet chilli sauce, I might try that for breakfast.
I sacked off Virgin Media TV (kept broadband) a couple of years ago and then they did an offer a few months ago where it was only about £5 more per month to get all the channels except for film and sport. Just when I thought I was out, the pulled me back in! I get my footy through an IPTV box on the sly (£90 for 6 months) and if I had a normal TV aerial and sockets throughout the house then I wouldn't even have got Virgin TV back in. I could personally live with Freeview complemented with Netflix, You Tube, iPlayer, etc but the only reason I have the Virgin TV is for when my folks come to stay. When the deal expires I may have it ripped out again. I have looked for Freeview via internet but not found a suitable solution and getting an aerial and wiring the house up is more expensive than you'd think and it's soon to be an obsolete technology anywhere.
The key is to leave at the end of every contract. Intro offers are always better than renewals. I blame this mentality for the sad breakdown of the institution of marriage in this country, but it's a fact of life. Edit: on reflection, if marriage contracts lasted 18 months it might improve matters.
The only thing I watch on Sky is the 4pm match on Sundays. Everything else I can do without. I've got a couple of Kodi boxes which need updating, I think I will do that when my current Sky contract ends in January. That is unless they offer me a cracking deal.
Every big company ****s you over and a lot of the smaller ones too. You have few rights; they put whatever they like in their terms and conditions and you have to take it up the arse. Just expect to get ****ed from most people you do business with, basically.
The amount of times my missus does her nut about watching the football. She always adds the word 'again' to the end of her question....'Are you watching the football...again?" That's the hurtful bit
The slimy Sky turds gave me a cracking ten month deal on a twelve month contract....and told me I could look for offers again after ten months. When I did just that, there were no offers and my monthly bill then shot up to £125. I don't mind paying £70 but £125 is taking the mick.
Introducing cottage cheese to the dinner table can be a shot in the arm for any flagging relationship...
