ATM fees shake-up may push Britain towards cashless society

poopoo

A society where beggars have bank accounts and carry card reading machines? Sure, we are going to fix poverty sometime soon and create a fair and just society. In the meantime there are encampments of homeless people- communities within the community, in every UK city. Or do we just ignore abject poverty?

Please come back! TalkTalk woos customers with broadband offers

poopoo

It was never about price. My blind 91 year old mother in rural isolation and looking after her recuperating husband was left all winter without a phone. Months of screaming down to phone to script reading foreign call centres. I had to fight for a refund. Criminally inept. Talktalk? Nevernever!

BBC Telly Tax petition given new Parliament debate date

poopoo

Thirty years without TV and I am still getting threatening letters. If I want them to stop I simply have to take the time to give them my data. GIVE them my data. I thought demanding money with menaces was a crime but not if you are part of "the establishment", it seems.

Apple’s facial recognition: Well, it is more secure for the, er, sleeping user

Re: Like fingerprints

I agree with that. Apple had to be dragged kicking and screaming into environmental responsibility, then you'd think they invented it. Likewise they swore the single button mouse was so much better. I believed them, until of course I got a two button mouse.

Ofcom creates watchdog specifically to make sure Openreach is behaving

poopoo

I had a recent broadband land line connection. I was a bit puzzled when the visiting engineer introduced himself as being from BT. A few moments later matters were clarified- he meant Openreach. But IT IS BT and clearly its employees think of it as BT. I tried to free myself of Virgin Media's exploitive pricing a couple of years ago by changing to a non- BT service but Openreach left me hanging and my new supplier could do nothing. I think this was deliberate. Openreach do not communicate directly with lowly end users either so I was stuffed.

...or any petition at all. I'm starting a Militant Apathy Party, or I would if I could be bothered.

Re: "We sent out an information message"

If there's a paid return envelope use that, mark it "junk mail return" and stuff it with anything else you can find to get the weight up. With Raddled Old Whore (sorry "Virgin" Media) , I would almost be tempted to add a dollop of excreta but this is illegal and unfair to staff who probably get enough metaphorical shit dumped on them already.

Ken Morrison was shafted by the business his family built up from a little cheese stall in a Bradford market. Imagine your own child spitting in your face. Big business eh?

Virgin? Raddled old whore more-like. Set up by a capitalist darling who began his career attempting to defraud the Inland revenue.. nasty, greedy, rip-off company.

CIA says it 'accidentally' nuked torture report hard drive

poopoo

Fascism with apple pie. The CIA is brazenly telling Obama and all America that they are in charge and can fob the nation off with bullshit that a five year old could see through. More fuel for the jihadists and sometimes I think they may have something when they talk about The Great Satan.

And they abuse the elderly too.

My blind and deaf mum, nearly 90, frail, alone (husband in hospital) and isolated ( rural,no bus service) was left two winter months without a phone when Talktalk's already patchy "service" went tits-up altogether. When finally restored I had to fight the CEO tooth-and-nail for both refund and "compensation" of (wait for it) 25 quid. Any decent organisation would have waived fees for a year and sent a bunch of flowers. Not Talktalk. Talktalk is cheapcheap. Cheapcheap and very, very nasty. Just like its uncaring elder- abusing CEO.
