"sorry, i cant understand your accent at all, can i speak to someone who doesnt speak hindi? , and who is more helpful, can i have your name please?"
"my name is gupinder, and if you want to talk to someone english, you'll have to hang up and try again, thankyou for calling, good day to you sir"

i know, is dodgy ground, i can't stand it, telephone manner and clarity should be upmost important when selecting suitable people for those jobs, most of them do speak with foriegn accent, i don't think its right

i lost my temper a bit, but the person should have been more helpful, and if you cant understand them, surely you can ask to speak to someone else?

admiral put me throught to adrian flux, who put me through to NUD, which takes the piss a bit
i just did it online in the end, much easier, as my pc has a strong, well spoken english accent

I used to get the AA ringing up all the time and it'd be a bloody Geordie on the phone
Glad they did though as it gave me training to understand what Lynny was saying
