What a joke, foreign fecking callcentre staff!
I applied for a job from the jobcentre website that was through an agency last week. They rang me but I was at the barbers thismorning so couldn't take the call. Returned the call just now, the girl on the line spoke very broken english, told me they hadn't rang me but did I have a forklift license? Then I was told maybe the person that rang me was out on their lunch and she couldn't help me and hung up!:mad:
What a joke of a company |

do you not have barbers in the mainland?:wonder:

Had to phone one the other day. I made sure my already Yorkshire/North Lincs accent was at it's worst, and also used slang terms etc, thee and tha.
The guy said, "I find it hard to understand you sir". To which I replied, "Yeah, like us having to phone Delhi!".. He did have the grace to laugh. |

I called British Gas ( about a long running dispute ) and got through to what sounded like a lady of Indian extraction, who had been on speed over her lunch-time...
When I asked to speak to her supervisor, she called me a racist... so I said calmly that she should slow down and speak to me more clearly. She hung up ! I called back and go a guy ( local ) in Leeds who cleared up 19 months of hell in three days ! Then I closed my account ! LOL dunx |
I had to ring AOL help and got some bloke in India.
I was pretty impressed with him, he sorted the problem completely and was easy to communicate with too. Les |

An English man,Welsh man & an Indian man are at the maternity ward.
The nurse appears & says the babies are all ok but there has been a mix up & they don't know which baby is which. To sort out the confusion the dads decide it they will draw lots & pick out their own babies. The English guy wins the draw & picks first. After the English man makes his choice the Indian chap says 'Look,you have picked the wrong baby,that one is obviously Indian' The English man replies 'Yes, I know but one of those others is Welsh & I am not taking any chances!' |
