There has been a steady economic growth of call-centers, I like that; I'll just have to disconnect my phone, a bit more often.

Might as well have fun while you still can.

Might as well start one of my own, calling call centers from skype or something with random generated complaints

They probably treat all complaints as randomly-generated anyway. Doubtless, like London Underground, they have thoroughly internalised the New Labour value which specifies that a bad service plus an apology is an adequate substitute for a fair service.

Ah, slight error there. The New Labour trick - at least in Tony Blair's hands - wasn't quite to apologise for the bad service, but to apologise that you felt there had been bad service.
