Im sure this is all a load of donkey bollocks. When they put you on hold i bet they're all sitting around laughing at the mug on the other end of the line paying premium rate before they actually try and communicate

na i used to work in a call centre, most people put you on hold as they dont have a clue how to sort your problem, because call centres employ brain dead idiots well like 75% of them are.

People apply for accounts and leave bits blank. You phone them up to query and they say "Oh I didn't know so I left it blank" 
Or you go through data protection with them and they can't answer the questions

My mate used to work in one where the caller had to go thro security before being told bank details. People would actually phone up and say "You should already know who I am!"

Having managed in a call centre a couple of years ago, putting customers on hold and for absolutely no reason, happens all the time, our desk was an 0906 number and would hold customers for 4-5 minutes to talk to their mates about the previous night out etc....
I found it hilarious
