Rds1983 Posted April 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2023 Just had an email from Vodafone saying their prices are going up 14%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) I’m surprised the government is not putting pressure on all these telecoms companies who are putting prices up well over inflation. It just keeps the inflation cycle going and going. Even if inflation is zero or negative they increase prices by 3.9% which is double the BoE target of 2%.

Davkaus Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Our IT team are trying to cut down on licenses so emailed everyone with a certain product asking if they still need it. They used CC instead of BCC, and so far I'm up to 37 individuals (who are, ostensibly, well-educated) emailing everybody back to confirm they do/don't. I'd like to find those 37 people and the idiot who doesn't know what BCC is and individually punch them in the face.

villaajax Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Personalised number plates generally but more specifically the ones who put 'V8' or 'V6' or whatever on them. Anybody who cares about that kind of thing would likely know what engine your car has and for everyone else, nobody cares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's irrational, I really shouldn't care, and I have good friends who have them, but for some reason I think badly of anyone who would want one.

Davkaus Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I got gifted one once. Took a couple of years for it to stop being brought up that I should put it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somebody gifted me 'MJM 1', I'd thank them sincerely for their generosity - and immediately sell it for as much as I could get. I'd feel like a clearing in the woods driving round with it on (regardless of the value of the car). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 My wife gifted me one, I couldn’t turn it down as it was a gift. It’s initials and something related to my job. I would never ever have bought it. I have voiced that dicks have them but still she did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or ones that were specific to a certain car that don't make sense anymore, since the owner has changed motors.
