Funny as .... but it's a sign of the times that he had to write such a mail in the first place just to get the attention of his local plod.

Dear Cretins,

I have been an NTL customer since 9th July 2001, when I signed up for your 3-in-one deal for cable TV, cable modem, and telephone. During this three-month period I have encountered inadequacy of service which I had not previously considered possible, as well as ignorance and stupidity of monolithic proportions. Please allow me to provide specific details, so that you can either pursue your professional perogative, and seek to rectify these difficulties - or more likely (I suspect) so that you can have some entertaining reading material as you while away the working day smoking B&H and drinking vendor-coffee on the bog in your office:

My initial installation was cancelled without warning, resulting in my spending an entire Saturday sitting on my fat arse waiting for your technician to arrive. When he did not arrive, I spent a further 57minutes listening to your infuriating hold music, and the even more annoying Scottish robot woman telling me to look at your helpful website....HOW?

I alleviated the boredom by playing with my testicles for a few minutes -an activity at which you are no-doubt both familiar and highly adept. The rescheduled installation then took place some two weeks later, although the technician did forget to bring a number of vital tools - such as a drill-bit, and his cerebrum. Two weeks later, my cable modem had still not arrived. After 15 telephone calls over 4 weeks my modem arrived... six weeks after I had requested it, and begun to pay for it. I estimate your internet server's downtime is roughly 35%... hours between about 6pm -midnight, Mon-Fri, and most of the weekend. I am still waiting for my telephone connection. I have made 9 calls on my mobile to your no-help line, and have been unhelpfully transferred to a variety of disinterested individuals, who are it seems also highly skilled bollock jugglers.

I have been informed that a telephone line is available (and someonewill call me back); that no telephone line is available (and someone will call me back); that I will be transferred to someone who knows whether or not a telephone line is available (and then been cut off); that I will be transferred to someone (and then been redirected to ananswer machine informing me that your office is closed); that I will be transferred to someone and then been redirected to the irritating Scottish robot woman...and several other variations on this theme.

Doubtless you are no longer reading this letter, as you have at least athousand other dissatisfied customers to ignore, and also another one of those crucially important testicle-moments to attend to. Frankly I don't care, it's far more satisfying as a customer to voice my frustration'sin print than to shout them at your unending hold music. Forgive me, therefore, if I continue.

I thought BT were sh*t, that they had attained the holy piss-pot of god-awful customer relations, that no-one, anywhere, ever, could be moredisinterested, less helpful or more obstructive to delivering service to their customers. That's why I chose NTL, and because, well, there isn't anyone else is there? How surprised I therefore was, when I discovered to my considerable dissatisfaction and disappointment what a useless shower of bastards you truly are. You are sputum-filled pieces of distended rectum incompetents of the highest order.

British Telecom - w**k*rs though they are - shine like brilliant beacons of success, in the filthy puss-filled mire of your seemingly limitless inadequacy. Suffice to say that I have now given up on my futile and foolhardy quest to receive any kind of service from you. I suggest thatyou cease any potential future attempts to extort payment from me for the services which you have so pointedly and catastrophically failed to deliver - any such activity will be greeted initially with hilarity and disbelief quickly be replaced by derision, and even perhaps bemused rage. I enclose two small deposits, selected with great care from my cats litter tray, as an expression of my utter and complete contempt for both you and your pointless company. I sincerely hope that they have not become desiccated during transit - they were satisfyingly moist at the time of posting, and I would feel considerable disappointment if you did not experience both their rich aroma and delicate texture. Consider them the very embodiment of my feelings towards NTL, and its worthless employees.

Have a nice day - may it be the last in you miserable short life, you irritatingly incompetent and infuriatingly unhelpful bunch of twats.

John

H what's your problem?

I'm not entirely sure, but, reading between the lines, I would hazard a guess that he has one or two issues with NTL Grin

I sympathise with H - I could send that letter with only a few modifications to Orange!!

I also thought BT were sh*te, so I changed to Orange (ex-freeserve??), only to find that the grass is greener on the original side of the hill.

I'll start a list - anyone care to add to it?

ANY COMPANY that when you ring, you get a recorded message telling the bloody options, and then when you press the number, you get more bloody options.

And when you evently get thru, you find your speaking to someone in deepest India!

all I can say is Ahhhhhh.

Sky are probably my pet hate. NTL have gone up recently - asked them for a discount the V+ installation charge but they were adamant that it wasn't possible. So I asked for a discount on my bills and they gave me £19 a month off - comfortably covering the V+ cost over a year Smiley

btw if you are calling one of those 0870 numbers - which are national rate - check www.saynoto0870.com as there is often an alternative regular or even 0800 number listed. It infuriates me when I've called one on them, then have to go through the menus, or hear that some calls may be recorded for training purposes or whatever, then go ona  long queue, when it's costing me 15p a minute

Letter I sent to Tescos a number of years ago.

Dear Sir

I was in the unfortunate position of having to purchase overpriced milk from one of your stores, you know the stuff, it comes out of cows, it's good in tea and on cereals, and you get it from the farmers for a pittance. Somewhere between picking it up in the store and getting it home, a substantial amount of the milk decided to make a bid for freedom;- this wouldn't have been a particular problem, but the plastic bottle was on the floor of my car, along with the newspaper I purchased (see receipt) which I intended to read when I got home with some milk for that great British institution, a nice cup of tea.

My car is neither posh nor specal, but I do take exception to it smelling like a turksh dairy on a hot day. And I'm not keen on a lactose saturated newspaper.

If you ever decide to take a break from your rampant raping of Britains farmers, I wonder if you could take the time to have a word with your very clever and esteemed scientists, and get them to devise a way of keeping a liquid INSIDE its' container. You know, like mankind have successfully been doing at least since the middle ages, but that's progress I suppose.

Yours

Nick Livingstone


A week later I got £25 worth of vouchers.  Grin I think I micht just print it out again and have another shot.
