Telephone wait times
Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee
Hanging On The Telephone and Call Me by Blondie must be contenders, shurely???

Still no call back…....
“Until the twelth of never”
I still chuckle about the time when on the blower to TCO, I could overhear someone in the background singing ‘No no, NINO’ to the tune of ‘No no limits’.
Dead Kennedys’ “Kill the Poor”?
Could it be forever? (David Cassidy)
Until Freud said this, I wasn’t finding phone waits much of a problem, but there has now been a noticeable worsening.
28 minutes wait for TCO yesterday.
It’s true that Freud has an “inverse Midas touch”. Everything he touches turns to s**t!
Just been on hold from 17.25 through to the lines closing at 18.00. Admittedly that is after 5 but if you advertise as the lines being open to 6 you should at least try and get near to the daytime standard.

Never mind after 5, they are supposed to be less busy before 9 yet I’m not sure whether I fell asleep; not having long woken up, or fell into a coma inspired by the the drone of Vivaldi at 8.40 this morning.
Suffice to say I gave up after 11 minutes.
im currently browsing rights net whilst on hold for the second time after the first person at Grimsby contact centre hung up on me.

Special music for Dan; Nessun Dorma (‘none shall sleep’ for those of us who aren’t pretentious enough for the opera)
On ringing contact centre this morning I inexplicably found myself speaking to the Bereavement Service. I’m certain I pressed the ESA option. Either it was a Freudian slip or they’re trying to tell me something.
28 minutes to ESA yesterday before speaking to an actual person. And then they cut me off just after I gave them the NINO…
I’ve had so many hangups after 11 minutes I gave up on that this week; I’ve just done 14 minutes on hold for ESA.
I’m doing the 7 tracks for 7 days thing on Farcebook; I wonder whether anyone’s put the hold music on youtube?
