Not a British gas, read the newspaper, go to the loo, put the kettle on and have a kip length of time.

I love ringing British Gas....I simply place my iPod next to the receiver. My classical music collection is awesome

I've had it a couple of times, it's usually only a few seconds though. Not a British gas, read the newspaper, go to the loo, put the kettle on and have a kip length of time.

This is a sad, sad day for customer service history.

The best have slipped up for the first time.

I have already ordered my Punjabi phrasebook from Amazon

OK. I have just tried to phone Cater Allen and I get this message saying "all our staff are helping other customers and you are being held in a queue".

That has never, ever, ever, ever happened before.

What's going on over there? Have they trimmed back on the call centre staff now that the internet banking is up an running?

I've had it once, a few weeks ago. Was shocked.
