    RipOff Britain....

    RipOff Britain...


    booking a ferry with SeaFrance

    call the UK booking number ---- message says calls charged at 10p per minute from BT landlines, calls from other networks at varying prices

    ok put the phone down

    call the French booking number ---- calls charged at standard network prices

    before any smart arse tries to saying calling FR will be more expensive I'm using a cheap calling service so no it's not, so again, UK residents are getting ripped a good 'un

    funny old world eh

    Milan.

    I use the SAYNOTO0870 site before considering dialling anything that is more than a normal call.

      How much is the pound worth compared to the euro these days?

      0.00002312 ?

      10p is probably not even eurocent

      So I would say....

      ...Bargain Britain

          I still get annoyed by these 0870 numbers...didn't have them in Canada, pretty well everyone had a 800 number. Imagine paying to ring a company to give said company custom!
