The words ‘Sky’ and ‘customer service’
are mutually exclusive.
And there was me vowing to only blog positive stuff. It’s one bloody thing after another. Ho hum. Engineer supposed to turn up today - never arrived. 25 minutes on hold, finally spoke to a nice chap who then couldn’t get through to the service engineering company. I didn’t laugh that much at him - but filled him in, at length, on the number of menus I had to go through (14, redialled twice, got a totally different set the second time) to reach him.
Engineer now coming out Friday. Same day as TV chap. Hopefully between them they can resurrect the Movie Channel and Boomerang, or I’ll be facing a mutiny.
Myf finished Explode the Code 2,though, with honours. There’s a dictation bit in the back, kind of a test - she did it perfectly. Apart from putting a few stray ‘c’s in words like drinck. Excellent spelling - the 10 lines read:
1. brick blinck drinck
2. cross crest crust
3. slept swept swift
4. stand stamp stink
5. held help honk
6. drink drift drips
7. grand grass grant
8. spill spend slept
9. trunk trust truk
10. lift left felt
Ahh, that’s where that stray c in drink came from - the truck in line 9.
I am very very proud of her for doing that - she then announced that was fun and can we do some of that everyday. Oh, I think we could manage it.
