@lipscombe1 many thanks! 9:55 AM May 31st via Twitter for iPhone from Camden, London in reply to lipscombe1
@magdaporter bummer :-( 8:54 AM May 31st via Twitter for iPhone from Camden, London in reply to magdaporter
@magdaporter their Twitter service is pretty good though, I have to say 8:43 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to magdaporter
@magdaporter @virginmedia I always thought Virgin would be the kind of company that would avoid outsourcing support, on principle 8:28 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to magdaporter
@virginmedia they're not skilled problem solvers. They read from a script. Please just give customers the script, rather than the annoyance. 8:27 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to virginmedia
@virginmedia the call centre in India is worse than useless. Their ineptitude just wastes time. 8:19 AM May 31st via Twitter for iPhone from Camden, London in reply to virginmedia
@lipscombe1 @republicstaff I don't think we're getting anywhere. Let's agree to disagree. 7:21 AM May 31st via Twitter for iPhone from Camden, London in reply to lipscombe1
@virginmedia Good stuff. Glad Virgin aren't outsourcing all their comms to India 6:03 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to virginmedia
@lipscombe1 @republicstaff in some ways, yes. But I think the monarchy just isn't that powerful, and certainly isn't a threat to parliament 5:42 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to lipscombe1
@lipscombe1 @republicstaff how about a good old civil war? ;-) Seriously, we know that Will is probably not the next Kim Jong Il. 5:28 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to lipscombe1
@lipscombe1 @republicstaff having undemocratic leadership (like most companies) is fine, provided the leaders are benevolent 4:50 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to lipscombe1
@lipscombe1 @republicstaff look at the EU. It's ultra-democratic, and thus incredibly slow to make important decisions, and also v populist 4:49 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to lipscombe1
@lipscombe1 @republicstaff whilst I believe in freedom and small govt, I have doubts about democracy as a concept -- 4:49 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to lipscombe1
@lipscombe1 @republicstaff really, what's wrong with the Queen, aside from the undemocratic concept? 4:30 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to lipscombe1
@virginmedia I suspect you're smiling because this is also an outsourced service. I'm curious to know where your service is based? 4:06 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to virginmedia
@RepublicStaff @lipscombe1 oh I see, so you're not capable of doing real research. Just picking holes? 4:05 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to RepublicStaff
@RepublicStaff @lipscombe1 so I assume you've performed a better study and can present your findings for scrutiny? 4:02 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to RepublicStaff
@lipscombe1 @republicstaff slavery involved suffering. It's a bizarre and disingenuous analogy 4:01 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to lipscombe1
@lipscombe1 @republicstaff the fact is, the Queen is an asset to our economy as well as our culture: cityam.com/latest-news/qu… 3:47 AM May 31st via Twitter for Mac in reply to lipscombe1
