    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 prerogative, 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 57 minutes 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{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}… 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 someone
    will 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 an answer 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 a thousand 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’s in print than to shout them at your unending hold music. Forgive me, therefore, if I continue.

    I thought BT were shit, that they had attained the holy piss-pot of god-awful customer relations, that no-one, anywhere, ever, could be more disinterested, 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 – wankers 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 that you 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.

    Could apply to anybody really.

    Thanks for posting it Dave, I was tempted but thought there may have been too many Rudies. Didn’t think of subscribers forum though.

    A few of these are going around at the moment. Here’s one from a customer at a popular Australian-themed bar in Glasgow:

    Dear Wxxxxxxxt,
    Please forgive me if I start to sound like an irrate Daily Mail reader but I’ve just had lunch in Wxxxxxxxt and I’m not happy about it. Now I know nothing will happen, well other than you losing my custom, which you won’t lose any sleep over, and me advising my friends and colleagues to dine elsewhere.
    Where to begin? The start’s as good a place as any I suppose. Having got over the inital shock of paying £7.80 for a pint and a burger, fair enough the menu was there in front of me, I made my way back to the table on unsteady legs and sat down with my pint. When my pulse rate had lowered to an acceptable level I noticed the table next to me being served, everyone looked happy enough with their order until one of the ladies noticed something wrong with her burger.
    Now at this point it may seem that I am a right nosy bastard, but my friend was up ordering his grub and there was nothing on the telly worth watching so any excitement was getting my attention. It seems that the lady had ordered a, wait for it, cheeseburger with no relish and she had received a cheeseburger with relish. No problem to the highly trained staff. After a moment of quizing the woman it was decided that a solution could be found to this sticky issue, and the lad whips her plate away with the assured ease of a seasoned professional. Now as I had been waiting for a wee while I was a little concerned at this point that I may not have seen the last of this particular burger. My cheeseburger, with relish, arrived a couple of moments later in a very similar arrangement to out little friend who had so recently left the area… Obviously burgers tend not to vary much in presentation and stylistic appearance but I was very suspicious that this was the very same burger (I am so cynical, it’s a problem I have been trying to work on). The chips (poor wee souls that they were) being cold raised my suspicion even further… If only I had studied those Sherlock Holmes films more closely an idea may have formed in my vacuous head.
    Then I thought I had found an escape route that would avoid any embarrassment on either side.
    This cheeseburger seemed to be lacking any identifyable cheese! This gave me the opportunity I had been awaiting. I approached the kitchen, as the waiter was busy standing next to the hatch for a while and I couldn’t get his attention, and tried to inform both him and the “chef” of my plight. After being quite rightly disciplined for standing on the floor which, silly me for ignoring the memo that must have been in my inbox, ‘had been cleaned’ (presumably quite recently) and dragged to the side by my previously unblemished shirt I managed to, as eloquently as I could, inform these examples of antipodean excellence that my cheeseburger was lacking in one of the characteristic ingredients that has made them so popular around the world. Thank the sweet lord that the quick witted waiter reacted so promptly and condescendingly in ordering me to lift up the top of the burger bun otherwise I would have missed the yellowish coating that seemed to be baked in to the bread. My jubilation was hard to define… needless to say I scurried back to my table as fast as I could, making sure that I took a different route in case other parts of the floor had been deignated no-go zones and I had missed those memos as well. When I was safely back at my table and eventually sunk my teeth into my now stone cold burger I was glad that the cheese (only 50p extra) was a wafer thin coating on my bun because after all that excitement I don’t think I could handle actaully tasting any cheese in addition to my satisfyingly cold burger.
    On finishing what I could, you can only take so much of a good thing, I was glad that the waiter avoided any further embarrassment on my part by not clearing the table and enquiring if we enjoyed our lunch.
    Not sure how to end this now as it’s my first complaint letter/epic-novell, so I suppose I’ll just leave.

    Regards,

    Former Cheeseburger Fan.

    Let’s hear it for Alex at this point! :worthy:

    Many of us have been blessed by his diligent siftings of the Worldwide Web in the form of emails. His latest brilliant ‘exposure’ can be seen by those lucky enough to have broadband and a flash viewer thingy installed: – http://www.gbjab.com/

    Thanks again Alex 😀

    Thanks.

    Some of you would have also got the mpg file Blair & Bush to “Endless love” by Luther Van Dross & Maria Carey. One of the best I’ve ever seen.

    If I could find a weblink I would pass it on. If anyone wants to see it, e-mail me & I will forward it.

    On the subject of ‘not for general consumption’…

    Only in Alberta… This was in the Calgary Sun. The title of the article was “Best Comeback Line Ever.” In summary, the police arrested Ward Branham, a 22-year-old white male, resident of Lethbridge, Alberta, in
    a pumpkin patch at 11:38 p.m. on Friday.

    Ward will be charged with lewd and lascivious behaviour, public indecency, and public intoxication at the Calgary courthouse on Monday.

    The suspect explained that as he was passing a pumpkin patch he decided to stop. “You know, a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around there for miles. At least I thought there wasn’t,” he stated in a phone interview. Ward went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purposes, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his alleged “need.”

    “I guess I was just really into it, you know?” he commented with evident
    embarrassment. In the process, Ward apparently failed to notice a police car approaching and was unaware of his audience until officer Brin Taylor
    approached him. “It was an unusual situation, that’s for sure,” said officer Taylor. “I walked up to (Ward) and he’s…just working away at this pumpkin. ” Taylor went on to describe what happened when SHE approached Ward. “I just went up and said, “Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you are screwing a pumpkin?” He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there, and then looked me straight in the face and said, … “A pumpkin? Damn…is it midnight already?”
