    Just been on a conference call with the subcontinent...

    ...and gave up because I don't understand a bloody word the Indian chap is saying.

        Having travelled around that part of the world and speaking a few Asian languages I don't have a problem. Perhaps you should game up and learn Urdu.

              They're the vendor, the onus is on them to provide a useful service. Being able to talk is part of it
