Re: UPS.

I'm hearing;

Banks have really good ones.
Trains have shit ones.
BT sounds like it's somewhere in the middle.

Can anyone say they're surprised?

Sky.

Got a letter offering me a no-cost upgrade to Sky Q.

So I call them and then start getting the sales pitch telling me that they can offer really good deals of packages. Told them I was happy on my current package.

Ah, they said, Sky Q has different packages which cost more.

Bye then....

Sky offered me a great deal... Then told me there'd be a £10 admin fee to change to it.

I cancelled the whole thing instead, that'll learn them!

Just sky for who they are.

Or, as the Viz Profanisarus would call them, 'Porridge Wogs'.

It's not funny, it's very offensive. Very offensive, indeed. And shouldn't make me giggle, but it does.

Ahh those halcyon days when we all took the piss out of each other without being offended or crying racist!

This isn't really a BYP, more of a

YouTube keeps nagging me to go 'Premium' to avoid adverts. So, basically, if you have the £ you can avoid the adverts. Meanwhile the advertisers are looking for people to buy stuff. Take this to the logical conclusion and the advertisers are paying a lot of £€$¥₩ to advertise to people that can't afford to avoid the adverts. Just how much are they going to spend on stuff that's pushed at them?

(Even if you pay, various channels are sponsored and push stuff at you midstream so you'll get advertised at).

I assume, like Instagram, they'll gradually make it unusable....but Instagram hasn't started shilling for subscriptions from casual users....yet.

Ad blockers take care of that, although they're supposed to be cracking down on them again

For some reason both FB and Instagram have told me that I have 3 options

Let them have all my info, so they can hound me with 'relevant' advertising
Not let them have my info, so they can hound me with any old advertising, But I have to pay €9.99 a month
Stop using the platform.

I subscribe to YouTube Premium but via Turkey (Turkiye now?), costs about a quid per month.

A dodgy debit on my Barclays bank account from Deliveroo.

Never used them, so called the bank who instantly cancelled my card and refunded me, so fair play.

Not sure how my card details were obtained as I'm pretty canny, but such is life. Annoying, but hey ho.

I fell out of love with them when I ordered a load of booze to a friends house, got charged and it never turned up.

We’ve just switched packages on Netflix to their cheapest offering which includes adverts, barely noticeable but I’d rather have the few quid saving in my pocket. YouTube is starting to take the piss in terms of number of adverts, I just hope the content creators at least get a slice, which is why I won’t pay for the premium content and don’t skip them on the channels I enjoy watching.

[Mussels]

Youtube ads are getting irritating but I won't go premium as we all use different Google accounts.
The popups for premium are far more irritating than the ads.
