Is hell painted pink?

Blogged in Customer Service by Sean Friday April 27, 2007

It is some small consolation to see that I am not alone (read it - it’s funny and oh so true! and there are dozens more on the same blog for those mobile-phone rubberneckers out there…) in finding T-mobile to be laughably bad in almost everything they do…although the joke is sort of on me because our household gives them about £60 per month for an incredibly poor experience. But to face wasting several hours - probably more - trying to port out of this pink hell, just doesn’t seem worth it. So I try to use my phone as little as possible (preferring landlines, skype, my other mobile phone and smoke signals to giving them a penny more than I’m stuck with in my plan.

For those of you that like the grass-roots/anecdotal/kick-the-tires investing style, I guess this would be a big sell signal on Deutsche Telekom. Makes you really wonder what the (usually) extremely sharp people at Blackstone were thinking…then again if they could take control, they certainly is - how do you say? - upside with respect to running the business less incompetently. Not sure the unions would be thrilled however…

Anyhow I reiterate my plea - port me outta here!

    Sean,

    The three things presentation was excellent! Well done. If you get a chance, I would like to get some feedback on my long awaited book, particularly since you were there near the start of the process:

    Violent edgelings will have a massive impact on financial markets over the next couple of decades.

    Sincerely,

    John Robb
