Well actually "nationwide"

Been with them years and years...no probs at all.

Have a cashcard thingy and i also use this when abroad in case i run out of money.

Well my new one came last thurday and now i can no longer use it abroad.

But can use it as a debit card.

Bugga i though...better get some more lira. (just in case)

Ordered it online and got a cracking deal. also ordered my shopping. no probs.

Till today....

Tried ordering my new phone with orange online. no go....

rings them. They say the card im quoting is not registered to my address

Rings bank and they say oh yes it is....

I rings orange back and they say ...oh no its not....

Hence no new phone but shopping and lira delivered today

I give up.....

There is a conflict with your post code, probably with orange. Get them to verify the post code they have on file for you.

Im impressed you even spoke to someone at orange.....

It takes for ever to get past the button pushing stage and when you do the idiots on the other end repeat everything you say.... I really have to work hard at not being abusive as they get me to repeat myself and they repeat it ....

Virgin media are worse! Should have had it filmed the other day.

I dialled , listened , pressed. Each time I pressed I got another set of options, I selected, pressed , listened and got another set of options and so on and so on for about four options six times. Eventually the machine said something about ... thank you for calling virgin media our offices are open from ..... blah to blah .....goodbye and I got the fuggin dead tone !!

When tthat happens it's a good thing Granny - it means either MI5/6 or the SAS is checking you out to see how you react under intense pressure and how you handle it.

They used to use white noise, and send people out on the Moors with nothing more than a teaspoon and a blank cassette to see how long it took to break them - but this is much easier and more cost effective.

Toxteth is a far more dangerous posting and only given to those of the true brave of heart. I look forward to Granny's sioree in the back of a ford transit as she's waiting for her next 'drop'.

Heres a tip when faced with the what to press next option....

Hit the hash key over and over again very fast.

Their comp wont recognise whats happening and you normally get straight through.

Works for me.
