    Drone

    That is total bollocks frankly. It’s so typical of the left that they cannot believe that the public can actually decide for themselves? The total arrogance from the same morons who trumpeted venezuela east Germany and Cuba.

    Prosperity and life simply has never been better. On just about every single ****** index. We have near enoughfull employment ffs

    Nothing is ever perfect but the alternative is what?

    What makes you think I’m left-wing Clive?

    Agreed, Capitalism is the least-bad economic model tried thus far

    The alternative: no idea

    It’s all pissing-in-the-wind anyway: mother nature will have the last laugh, as she always does; she’s already chuckling

    I know your not drone and I’ll let the other stuff pass. It’s not worth arguing with people who wake up every morning to nurse shouting “WHOS THE PRIME MINISTER”

    “WHOS THE PRIME MINISTER”

    We don’t have one, or a government, or an opposition: worthy of the names anyway

    Frank Field for PM, I say

    Nurse!!

    Oh, you’ll “let the other stuff pass”, Clive, I bow in deep indebtedness to your kindness. And there I was thinking you were an abusive fascist/racist who doesn’t bother to read things properly and had no care for the 25% of the population who suffer from mental health problems each year and the record number of folk prescribed antidepressants in our wonderful neo-liberalist Britain. Not true, you just believe the indexes.

    @Nausered- the accusations of racism weren’t meant to be taken literally; indeed, the one aimed at Moehat was made entirely in jest.

    However, why bring up the fact that these call centres are in India at all? Why not just say “their call centre is crap”? Mentioning India does make it look as though there is an underlying dissatisfaction of some sort.

    People on an intelligent forum are going to express different opinions, Clive, but why should they put up with one participant calling them: idiot, moron, ******, **** and nut.

    @Kris: We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one, but consider the difference between these two statements:

    Racing UK’s call centre is full of idiots

    and

    Racing UK’s Scottish call centre is full of idiots.

    Are you seriously suggesting that the second statement could be considered racist?

    No, not having it, you are definitely on the wind up.

    Anyone remember this Brass Eye spoof on racist attitude?

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    Would:

    Racing UK’s English call centre is full of idiots

    be racist, or would it be the title of an opinion piece by Afua Hirsch in the Guardian

    :yes:

    Gladituer said… “However, why bring up the fact that these call centres are in India at all? Why not just say “their call centre is crap”? Mentioning India does make it look as though there is an underlying dissatisfaction of some sort”.

    Because it’s a relevant fact. I hate Indian call centres, because they cannot speak English properly half of the time. How would that not be frustrating? I would repeat the same statement, replacing Indian with Scottish regarding your next post.

    I did not realise that I’m a knuckle dragger. Thanks for enlightening me. I’m 44, a former plastering contractor for most of my life. Born/lived in South London my whole life nigh on. (it actually says ‘true cockney’ on my birth certificate, bow bells blah blah). I have hundreds of friends, loads of black mates, a few Asian mates, the business I’m in now, is a very male orientated one. The Asian mates I have, say exactly the same as me… “Can’t understand them, and they don’t understand me”. Are they a bit racist too?

    Stop being all PC and offended for other people snowflake :rose: x

    “I did not realise that I’m a knuckle dragger.”

    And I did not realise that I had called you one- perhaps you’d care to enlighten me as to where I did, snowflake?

    Happy to report that my experiences as a Virgin Net/Media/Web/whatever else user of nineteen years’ standing would be the exact opposite.

    The non-UK call centre operatives, as has been widely reported previously including a core of graduate and postgraduate level students, are intelligent, inquisitive (as far as the scripted parts of their job will permit them to be, admittedly), unstintingly polite and blessed with mellifluous accents that take little to no working out. They and I have never not enjoyed wholly satisfactory interaction when the need has arisen.

    The UK equivalents… not so much.

    Grays

    Totally disagree. Had my account hacked and they did nothing about it or had any understanding of the problems it went on to cause. They were crap

    They also once completely deleted my previous email address by mistake and no apology nothing.

    I’m amazed you say that because I’ve heard about the same problems from others many times
