Every time something is late or service is bad the blame is either COVID 19 or Brexit and lots of poor businesses are pulling the wool over people’s eyes blaming pandemic. Who will they blame when things improve?

As always the weather, staffing problems, communication, your fault... Remember "the wrong kind of snow"? And there's always the old standby - the computer.

At least one company I've spoken to is still using "we have a lot of staff off sick due to covid" as a reason for taking forever to answer the phone.

In the past it would have been Boris but he is managing to keep us amused and PMQ on Wednesday should be fun as he has a laugh at KS

For how long will the COVID preambles continue - the ones one gets when one rings up a company? I rang my GP the other day and had to listen to forty seconds of recorded advice about symptoms, Do Not Visit the Surgery etc. To be fair, when I did get to speak to a human, I was dealt with pleasantly and efficiently, and two days later received a letter offering me an NHS hearing test at two hospitals and Specsavers. The last was the most convenient and was able to give me an appointment in two weeks' time.

Recorded advice.... The other day I rang Drugsline to talk about cannabis. They made me press the hash key. I'll get my coat.

Inept folk will always find something new to blame their terrible customer service on or not paying their debts or their business failing. I've been hearing them blaming some external factor or other for decades.
The tragedy is that the majority of laypeople in this country are gullible suckers, so whenever any business person blames the global financial crisis, Brexit and/or Corona for not paying their creditors etc., most people feel bucketfuls of sorrow for them without a care in the world for their lenders who they may have failed to pay back millions of pounds to.
