Due to current circumstances, my direct debit to orange wasn't paid.
I was trying to connect to voicemail because someone emailed to say he had left me a message inviting me to contact him to arrange an interview.
Couldn't get the voicemail because Orange have sort of disconnected me. Phoned one of their 08 something numbers, after going through the security questions, NO I can't remember my password, NO off the top of my head I can't remember exactly when I took the contract out, I know my shoe size and IQ if that helps? chap said I needed to ring a mobile number, Don't want to do that from my landline due to cost.
Mobile signal is very bad, I have to stand in the street to hold a conversation.
I didn't really want the neighbours to hear, but needs must etc.
After the usual press this for that, then that for this, double it and subtract the number you first thought of, spin round three times and whistle Rule Britannia through your backside, get a message saying how Orange are committed to excellence in customer service, which is nice.
Then get a message saying that all their people are busy helping others, (nice again, good to know that they are not just sitting there playing angry birds, whatsit candy etc) but of course my call is important to them, (very reassuring, so nice to know that someone cares) and that if I wanted to hold on, someone should be with me within FORTY FIVE MINUTES
