    As for the cost, well it's cheaper than driving there, right?
    An 0870 number costs 7.51p per minute from a landline so be aware that spending 10 minutes will cost you 75p!

    If you can afford to risk 75p on a £500 pd contract that runs for 2 yrs, then go ahead, take that chance!

      Also: print off the phone bill, highlight that call and claim back the VAT. That'll ease the pain.
      Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

        Money reclaimed: ~10p
        Time taken: ~10min
        Do you really value your time at ~£1/hour?

            You'll find "sarcasm" inbetween saccharine and sardonic, if that helps. Perhaps you'll spot it next time.

                I once rang in to one of these 0870 conference 'so called' interviews. After wasting an hour on the call, I hung up only to discover I had missed three calls, two from the bank, one from my wife.
                The bank wanted to know why I was transferring all my money to a Nigerian account, but said as I was not available, they had authorised it anyway. My wife said she had discovered that I was ringing dodgy numbers so was divorcing me to run away with some guy who works in recruitment or something and that the CSA would be in touch tomorrow.

                I didn't get the job.

                    Thanks for transferring the money to my Nigerian account. Much appreciated. Did you want a receipt?

                    How's the divorce going?
