Is it too much to ask?
Terminus:
Most people who either work for UK call centres abroad or come to this country take an english first name - it's because it may be hard for people to pronounce their name.
Now this is not a race card and I'm sure everyone in every country needs and has the right to work as they please - but the ones that bug me are the ones who can barely speak english so don't understand 80% of what you say and end with a goodbye that reminds me of Apu in the simpsons with less feeling.

the guy in our local post office also has that argument! hello, my names phillip smith. hmm, and my names bavesh singh. i'm convinced that 90% of foreign call center employees just read (badly) from a script, and dont actually have any clue what they're talking about.
Llanigraham:
You want to try getting some of these call centres to realise that in Wales we speak a different language and therefore spell things, shall we say, a little unusually!
My bank told me that my town didn't exist as there were no towns in England spelt with a double L, and therefore I must live abroad. Don't think she realised that the UK includes other countries.

God dam money saving carp really gets my goat. Hows about doing something for the customer and employing people in this country who at least understand what is going on! :evil:

If you dont like the way they do things then change to a different company. write them a letter or fill in a complaint form saying why (many have them on their websites) if it makes you feel better! (though they probably never read them!) :)
