But when you find your name, address, balance and PL over the last ten years listed on a website, it will be too late for them to sort it, your data will already be out there. :)
Would that be a problem to you? I'd quite like to see what everyone earns. :mrgreen:

If I ran Betfair I'd just ban you, all this incessant personal beef stuff alarming newbies, and calling everyone there "monkeys" probably isn't worth the commission. I wonder how much ass you'd kiss to get your account back :lol:

If so it's a gag that now includes everyone from Tesco staff to call centres. I just hope the bits about abusing people at utility companies was 'dark humour' though. Kicking some unfortunate minimum wager for kicks wouldn't be very nice, but generally I think he's a kind hearted guy so I think that bit was made up.

It wasn't for kicks, it was out of pure anger. They may be near the minimum wage but they talk down to you as though they're the CEO.

When I tell someone I've already told ten of your colleagues and they say, well, you haven't told me, of course I'm gonna lose my rag. If they take up a job answering calls without having the brains to realise nobody's willing to repeat the same story each time they call, they deserve all the abuse they get. :D

They are after all demanding money off people who owe them nothing. Do that on the street and you're likely to get more than abuse, but each call is recorded for training and quality purposes so they can learn what triggers abuse and adapt. :D

Thats my point. Derek'27's post doesn't exist on this thread except referenced in ShaunWhite's reply.
Maybe my dementia is accelerating.

When I discussion is leading to a rant or some other subject, it's common to quote and then reply to a more appropriate thread, hence, Shaun moved the discussion onto this thread.

Click on the little arrow on the right of the user name at the top of the post, as Kai said. It's a link to the original post. :)

There is no " little arrow on the right of the user name at the top of the post". Have I entered a paralell universe here?

The upward arrows on the right of "wrote:". You might need to put your glasses on. :)

If you can choose not to go to court for sentencing, why can't you choose not to go to prison?

Have you ever tried to get a recording of a phone call with them? They say they can't send you one! They are not happy to share their 'quality' with you!
