I have lost count the amount of times I have used that! Its beyond belief sometimes what they come up with.Well, pretty much.
If you're going to criticise the quality of somebody else's English then the least you could do is write in a "half decent" manner yourself.
^ I didn't think it needed spelling out, but fair enough.
Sorry, did you not understand my OP?

Not entirely but I got the point of it. You were having a go at Indian call centres.
Did you not understand what I was referring to?
I like.

LOL
Totally agree with the sentiment. Call centre staff wherever they are are reading a script and seem to hate their jobs. The least people can do is not come the raw prawn with some bull****e name.
I've had a few conversations with "John" and "David" where I strongly suspected those names were a front!

I have a problem with accents I don't hear often.
Most American accents I'm fine with (thank you Hollywood), some Scottish are hard though.
I have to talk to someone with a strong french accent and I find it hard, veyer hard - especially as it's highly technical conversation so I'm trying to think to understand the words, then think to understand what it means - and before thenext sentance comes out.
Indians can be good or bad, depends on the person - for me I've heard quite a a few indian accents so don't find most too hard, there's a lot of variance though.
Are you wrong to say you can't understand them? No. It's your problem but they're not helping you with it.

I understand them, but the majority of them are just stupid. Or maybe that's just Virgin Media.

Sounds perfectly like some of my conversations with Indian call centres.
wtf?

There's an Irish lass I know that I cannot understand on the phone! It must be the phone as I can understand her face to face (just!) but on the phone her accent is soo thick!
But as she's rather good looking it doesn't annoy me like the Indian call centres!
I think I had a very lucky experience with an Indian call centre.
The SSD on my Dell Laptop broke, the guy told me to open the laptop to reseat it, I said I didn't have any tools, he said right, a repair guy will come to your house tommorow with a new SSD, and the repair guy came the next day.
Easy

my mate Daryl insisted the call centre bloke called him Ranjit Patel after the other bloke gave a pretend name
I don't know, the tech support at O2 are superb. If you know what you're talking about they'll give you any information you need.
