The angry thread

@Newportnobby
For info Mick - I  transferred some money from my PayPal account on Monday and it was in my bank account yesterday. (So something is working correctly at PayPal  ).

well, unsurprisingly, in spite of several messages to the contrary, no contact from them.

latest message to them just sent ...

20:20 according to your phone lines your offices are now closed. now 56 hours since started trying to get help from you, giving up for tonight, and will try yet again, for the fourth day, tomorrow.

now going to investigate SWMBO's pressie from yesterday, while reading a book on the Nimrod from elder daughter.

[dannyboy]

There I was, fully expecting you to say everything was now sorted Alan. This is getting ridiculous and I feel angry on your behalf. However, I do think the Nimrod is a lovely airplane, unless you were referring to "a biblical figure described as a king in the land of Shinar,".

no, the ex comet with a bit grafted on that replaced the 10,000 rivets in close formation that we had at Ballykelly 

and the pressie isn't too bad either

@class37025 Which book was it Alan??? Fantastic plane and the MRA4 should of been protecting us for the last 10 years but a certain PM pulled the plug on that.

I quite agree. This is where the likes of Facebook, Twitter blah blah come in useful* as most companies hate being portrayed in a bad light.

*Yeah, I know. Me saying they come in useful. The world must be in a poor state

I remember them,  just make sure that air traffic has phoned the signal box to make sure there isn't a train on the runway.

[dannyboy]

You could always tell them, (well, send another message), letting them know that a certain internet forum has 7686 members and if each of those members told 10 of their friends about the customer service at PayPal, that would be an awful lot of people aware.

I was speaking to a friendly technical chap as my phone was having a small issue. He said its circumstances we live in , working from home, children at home , schoolwork online, zoom etc. And the congestion online. I don't use PayPal but he did mention contact less card use was a minor issue with terminals taking forever. I asked him about PayPal and he confirmed surprisingly there were issues, he cancelled his and spoke with his bank.  Maybe worth going that route

I well remember doing a guardoom shift one sunday morning and receiving a phone call.....

"Main Guardoom, Cpl. Jenkins, sir"

"Satco here, cpl, we've just had a train hit a sheep on the runway, better get someone down there"



"Year, right, stop  about "

it only seemed a few seconds later that a mini arrived outside in cloud of smoke, the door was flung open and a voice roar ...

"WHICH ONE OF YOU IS JENKINS?"

ooooppppssssss :'(

Re my order to Easylife, ordered on 1/5/2020 the sent me a message with a tracking number 3 days ago for Hermes. In fairness to Hermes there site said they had not received the parcel yesterday. They have sent a message, this morning they now have it so probably to be delivered tomorrow my shopping day you can't win. So 21 days since ordering pretty rubbish, I won't be ordering off them again that's for sure.

what a good idea ....

alan jenkins10:02 AM
good morning, day four of this fiasco, and a member of one of the forums I post on has pointed out that they have 7,686 members, most of whom are following my posts on there about Paypal, and he added that if each one told ten other people, that is an awful lot of bad press for Paypal. hopefull, today, THIS WILL BE SORTED.

but don't hold your breath. phone lines are still not transfering to humans.

very tempted, but so far managed not, to reply to 'reason for your call' by replying 'bomb threat'

Nimrod Boys, by Tony Blackman with Joe Kennedy.

unfortunately you have to sort out the 'limitation' before you can do anything. can't even get my money out to my bank account till they sort this fiasco 

effectively your account is locked, oh you can still have money paid in, but then can't use or withdraw it.
