luckykaaSo, after chronic absent mindedness, I finally get round to booking that trapeze course. I was hopoing to do it online but they only do telephone bookings. I discovered this at 10:30 one evening so felt it was too late. Monday I was too sleep deprived to remember anything. Tuesday I was busy. So I call.
"Your calling credit is running low"
72p might be cutting things a bit close. So onto the Vodafone website. Get as far as the security for my card. It gives a somewhat muddled error that tells me both that I didn't provide correct information and that the service is unavailable at this time and I should try again later. Or their error handling wasn't expecting this particular issue. Try another couple of times. Give up and call.
I hate automated telephone systems. They insist on referring to themselves as "I". It is not a person. It is a machine. It is not at all sorry. But eventually I type all my detail in and it does "get" it.
So all this is doen. I get a recorded messge. "Office hours are 10am to 8:30pm Monday to Thursday..."
IT'S 7:55PM!!!!
Perhaps somebody is telling me I don't want to do this.
