.... i'm sorry if this seems cruel..... but i waited 6 days to have my phone re-established, waited since November 28th for any sort of reply from CC people and then get fobbed off with a reply that quite blatantly completely misses the point ..... missed it further than a Stuart Pearce penalty in fact!!
Ladies and gentlemen, i give up! - is there ANY hope at all?
