OJAS Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) The days of hanging on for ages at considerable expense while being "serenaded" with irritating muzak when calling HMRC may be behind us until early April at least?? https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64322140 If this trial is successful and adopted permanently, I hope that it also gets extended to other UK government organisations - in particular HMPO and DWP/IPC in our case.

Foghorn Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 With all the unemployed getting social security payments you’d think that could give some of them jobs to man the phones , but that would be too helpful for the peasants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download a VOIP APP like VYKE. Top it up with 2 or 3 dollars (they charge in $$$) and you will get 100's of minutes. Its very simple to use and the signal is excellent.

roquefort Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I just love the way tax collectors call their victims 'customers'. We're just sheep to be shorn.......customers have a choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the "hanging on for ages" aspect that gets me more than the expense involved, I have to say! Edited January 20, 2023 by OJAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
