    Poor Sales Service at Phones 4 U!

    Hey Avril, I've just been taking a look and the only option that seems to be available for the O2 contracts we are talking about here is a straight buyout of the phone for £495.95 PLUS £26.00 a month. insane numbers.... this was off the website... I actually had a chat with one of those live...

    Reasonable coffee breaks

    Sounds a bit harsh to me to be honest. He is just making a brew and drinking it whilst on the job? 3-4 mins whilst the kettle boils... 3-4 minutes to gather his thoughts and keep being pro-active on his job. Regardless of his weight either - happy employee will be far more productive.

    Bitcoins

    I'm still confused by Bitcoin. It seems a little scammy to me, but very interesting. Did you see this on The Guardian site at the weekend? (I cant post an url yet as i haven't done 15 posts, but google Guardian Bitcoin - first link). a good video with the founders

    Parcel stuck UK customs

    Always takes ages... couple of weeks I find. I reckon they just leave the box in a pile! THere may be an additional customs charge - a % of the value of whatever you have bought
