My phone is red hot at present......I had a phone call today from Talk Talk...it wasn't the same girl as yesterday.......the one who could hear me choking to death, but carried on with her sale pitch....this was a different foreign bird...sounded South African.
The call began thus:-
'Can I speak with Mrs Pilington, sorry Piklington'
Me: 'No you can't, there is no-one at this address called Pilington or Piklington'
her: Is Mrs Pilkington there then?'
Me: 'Yes, that's me'
Then she sets off on this obviously pre-scripted spiel.....how by changing to them I could save money, on calls(free evening and weekend calls for life), line rental, and broadband.
At this point I interrupted her......rude I know, but at my time of life you don't have time to waste listening to this stuff...heck she was promoting it like she was John the Evangelist.
I said to the young woman.....
'I'm going to tell you this in simple terms.....it seems like you need it to be simple as you couldn't even get my surname right.
I only want my phone calls from ONetel(soon to be Talk talk)......I do not want line rental or broadband......
I am tied into a BT contract for the next 15 months...it would cost money to come out....other than that I am happy with the service they provide.....if this is too hard for you to grasp, then maybe I should take my phone calls back to BT so that I don't get anymore of these irritating calls'
Her: good afternoon madam, thankyou for your time.
What's the betting that in a couple of days I won't get the same selling call from some other foreign bird, on behalf ot Talk Talk.
If I do, they are for it!!!!!!
Dogblogs are coming.
