Communications!!!!

Today I decided I had had enough of flaming treacly slow broadband so phoned up our so called provider (there's an oxymoron if ever) Talktalk! Got a guy called Kuldeep guessed straight away he wasn't from Partick! told me he was in Indi (no surprise there) Could I understand a bloody word he was saying! I was beginning to get rattled (so unlike me!) so got chubby hubby to take over the call. Well honestly I was transported back 50 years to when I was 7 standing in a kiosk(red phone box to you whippersnappers) on a cold Hebridean island standing between my grandparents who were trying to phone my parents in Glasgow. Every time the operator (real person on phone) told my grand father to press button A, he would shout back "button A pressed" to which my grannie would say 'you don't need to repeat everything, she's no stupid!" then an argument would assume between them both. Well today was a repeat. there was chubby going round the house switching all the mobiles etc off and saying to Kuldeep, "mobile 1 off, mobile 2 off etc" while I was by this time a smouldering wreck just wanting to grab the bloody phone from his grip and scream at bloody Kuldeep to just get the fecking broadband fixed!
After 55 minuses and numerous speed tests and much intergalactic communications breakdown, Kuldeep said they had no engineers near us (I could have told the plonker that!) so they would run some more tests. I finally wrestled the phone from hubby long enough to tell said Kuldeep that if my broadband speed didn't increase within the next promised 48 hours that i would no longer be talking to talk talk!.
Honest to God ok so poor Kuldeep was only doing his job but seriously when are these bloody utility companies going to connect me to someone in THIS bloody country AND speaks the Queens English!! Mind you having said that I recently spoke to a Welshman and his accent was thicker than treacle! You just can't win. The wonderfully well trained & patient Kuldeep might find his paymasters will be kneedeep in the proverbial cac!
