Meryl Streep, these are beautiful! I wish you joy of them.

That is good to hear Katek. I have found the answering services for big supermarkets to be efficient and easy to use.

Oh they are gorgeous, are they for pots, or straight into the ground?

I’d forgotten that I’d ordered 6 of my favourite plants. They’ve just arrived.

Well done Katek, there’s such a feeling of satisfaction isn’t there?
I had to ring Customer servs at Amazon, and was prepared to wait and do battle if necessary. Like you, my call was answered after a few rings, and my refund processed within 10 mins.
It’s great when it works like that.

I needed to speak to GP this morning re prescription change. ‘Here goes’ I thought as I prepared to do battle but no! Receptionist answered after couple of rings, booked a telephone appointment for an hour later and then GP called back 10 minutes early! I needed a lie down after that! Then I had to phone Sainsbury’s re delivery tomorrow, and I was through all the multiple choice selection process and speaking to an extremely helpful lady within 1 minute and 15 seconds! Another lie down needed! Why can’t insurers and utility companies be this efficient?
