So what sort of customer am I?????

It seems that you have your own impression of me being some sort of Victor Meldrew. Well I'm afraid you have got me all wrong.

You forget that I also deal with customers. And I know that some of them are impossible to please, no matter what you do or say. But I'm not one of them. If you read one of my earlier posts, you will see that I had excellent service from VM Tivo support only last night. And in fact the gentleman actually diagnosed and reported faults on my phone lines at the same time.



As you said, you don't get it right all the time, none of us do. But when you don't know something, do you go and find out for the customer, or do you just lie to them?

What you can't seem to grasp is that his statement "it isn't possible" was used in the context that nothing could be done, so tough luck. So it wasn't just his wording, he wanted to end the conversation.
