It gets worse, Trefor. It turns out the company actually owns Byte,
lock, stock and barrel.
Yesteday my wife rang one of the branches and the conversation went
something like this (remember to adopt a disinterested, slightly
offensive tone when taking the part of the receptionist):
Wife: Good morning, could I speak to Mr Smith, the
manager, please?
Receptionist: What's your problem?
Wife: I'd just like to speak to Mr Smith, please.
Receptionist: OK, what's your problem?
Wife: I don't have a problem. I need to speak to Mr Smith as
I'm arranging some in-store training for him.
Receptionist: Sorry, all our training's done by Head Office....
Wife: I am Head Office!
Receptionist: Oh, I'll put you through.
It's almosy tempting to start up a customer care training company near
the branch. The contract would be enormous.
