I hope time travel wasn’t invented twenty years ago. More people are using tiny wireless headphones these days. They’re not all listening to music, a lot of them are talking on the phone. Wireless headphones are getting smaller, you can’t always see them. I commute into central London every day and it looks like every […]

DAY 12 – Phone still not fixed.

28Dec15

It’s the wrong time of year to get anything done. We had a quiet Christmas, partly due to the fact that no one can call us on the home phone. We switched telephone providers on 17th December. Since then, we haven’t been able to get incoming calls. I call their customer “care line” every day […]

DAY 6 – Phone still not fixed.

22Dec15

I’ve worked out what’s really going on in the customer services department at my phone and internet provider. I switched to them on Thursday.

Phoneys!

I’m sure my new phone and internet provider know how rubbish they are. A quick Google of their name and the phrase “customer service” reveals hundreds of horror stories and even an award for bad service. In the last Craic I told you about the problems I’m having with my landline telephone. I switched my […]

How an air-conditioning mechanic in Sydney Australia became an award winning broadcaster in Britain Part 70.

14May14

I loved living in Australia and working on the radio there, I even became an Australian citizen, but to most Aussies, I was still a Pom. I remember one night in 1996, when I presented the night-time show on 2GO on the New South Wales Central Coast. I took a phone call on the air […]
