Tried to go to cinema today. Have got voucher so it was suggested it was easier to book online . It wasn’t! After 45 mins online I rang helpline , lovely Indian lady tried to help me but I couldn’t understand her accent so rang off. Tried to go to cinema in person today. Road closed on way to cinema . No diversion signs , had to fathom ourselves how to go alternative route. Obv everyone else went the same way, traffic a nightmare, gave up, came home!
Tried to cancel a package on virgin media , gave plenty of notice- not done!
GP appointments? Don’t get me started!
WHY is everything so DIFFICULT these days? !

I do ask companies these days where their call centres are based before I consider using them. I believe everyone should support their local/national economy if possible and I just can't cope with certain accents.

What a good idea! I'd never have thought of that and I, too, have difficulty with a few foreign accents!!
You are a clever one!
