It’s me wot won it!

So there I am getting pissed off with Vodafone after they monkey with my contract terms mid-contract, and refuse recognition for Connect in the UK and CWU in South Africa, and my contract comes up, so I ring them and say I’m off to nice unionised O2 in protest. They say they’ll put a PAC code in the post and I think no more of it.

And then this happens, and this. Result! And then the retentions department ring up and really professionally grovel to ask me to stay, knock a third off my bill and offer me a swanky new HTC 3G/SatNav/WiFi blogo-phone for free (iPhone, schmiPhone). Result!

Congratulations to the Connect and CWU teams on two excellent results, but I think we all know who it was that really dragged them to the table… ;)

    Good for a hat and a badge or two, for sure.

All of this obviously being my own thoughts and nothing you can pin on my employers present or past, my union, my local party, my mates, or anyone else you might confuse me with - most of whom don't agree with me about very much anyway.
