Don't you just love them??
Just had to order spares for my Fridge Freezer. The company that used to supply them were based in Grangemouth, Scotland, UK. So I chose to phone them... "The number you have called is no longer recognised" I try another Depot... "The number you have called is no longer recognised" Now we're travellin' further afield -Stockport. "The number you have called is no longer recognised" So we go on the net to Bosch direct, the first voice asks my query, I explain that I wish to purchase spares for my Fridgefreezer.. no problem (incidentally she was English and all was OK!) however I'm put on hold, then the line starts to beep, then an Ethnic voice answers the phone. In "as good as it gets" Broken English, she asks can she help (Dan Gliballs would have lept right in here and stuck it down her throat "Linda Lovelace" style!!) I explain that I'm looking to purchase spares for my fridgefreezer. She need the serial number and part number (I already have these... way ahead!) She Identifies the parts and ryhmes out a cost, all is going well so far. "Can I have your address pleazzze" "Certainly... and I rattle off my address to her.. were getting to the end and she asks what country am I calling from (I'm tempted here to say Coatbridge, Scotland, Uk Outer Mongolia.. as I've already told her I'm in the United Kingdom GB) I explain again , Great Britain/ United Kingdom.. "what was your address again please??" so we start again... "I'm sorry sir we don't have a Great Britain/ United Kingdom but we do have a GB is that the same??"... **sigh** "Yes" I reply... I ask if they were in stock, "Yes, plenty I'm showing X bags" "Do you still have a Grangemouth Depot??" "No Sir, we don't sell Grangemouths in this company." Fantasic, and they want us to learn their language to make things easier, what chance ...
Not even enough for a :thumbsup:
