ComplainingI like writing letters of complaint to companies containing the words "premier league muppetry", if only to give the poor office workers a good laugh on an otherwise dull day. Have you ever complained? Did it work?

Hoisted...Like everyone else in the country (world?) I have had trouble getting telecomms companies to realise that actually being able to communicate with the outside world is kind of what I am paying for. The usual litany of cockups, lies, incompetence and poor service.
But once, just once, it was all worth it...
We moved house, and had cable TV / phone installed. Over the next week we had lots of problems with the phone, and managed to get the company to send someone over to fix it. Somewhat surprisingly, the engineer did actually turn up when they said he would.
He started doing the usual prodding and testing, and went outside to have a look in the junction box on the wall. "Fahkin' ell, this is a total mess!" he exclaimed, "What cowboy installed this pile of crap?".
Resisting the urge to giggle, I replied "You did. Two weeks ago."
He went very quiet and got on with the job.
