V-Flyer

When I just spoke to Virgin, a woman answered the phone and announced herself as (and I didn't think I misheard this) Richard Mannion.

Discuss![:o)]

Personality disorder? Unless he is moonlighting??

Goodness only knows - I was so surprised, I didn't ask her ner name again (something I tend to do at the end of a phone call).

LROM - do you want to tell us something![:p][:o)];)

Cheers,
VS045

Are you sure it wasn't "Marrion"...? [:p];)

Hey Hey, my ears work ok, it's the rest of me that's falling apart!

Ah - no worries about your hearing Claire...

Several people in VS get "Mannion" and "Marrion" confused... [:I]

True - but not so easy to get confused over a first name such as Richard - and that's what she said!

How confusing - does he know his ID has been hijacked???[:0]

Hmm - maybe it was one of those "half conversations" you finish before picking up the phone...?

ie:

"And as for that Richard Mannion... umm, hello - how can I help?"

[:p]

LOL - maybe, it didn't sound that way, but who knows????

Good one, Paul.[y][:p]

Err, I think I may know who you were speaking to!

And just for the record, I don't actually work at VS!

Thanks,
Richard

Come on then, who was it? Definitely a female voice! Am intrigued....

Hi Juliet!

Nothing like Richard!

She wouldn't answer the phone to the front line! Strange, don't want to reveal names - can I ask which number you called?

Thanks,
Richard

Hi all,

No, I can say it DEFINITELY was not me.

Well we've never seen the two of you together in one place...

Behave! The entire Premier Team has seen that we are in fact two separate people the last time I visited with Pete!

I could put an entire new thread on what responses I have heard when I have called in and been asked for my name.... word travels fast (maybe they put it in new hire training, if any of these people call in....) [:I]

Thanks,
Richard

Richard,I could so run with that one,but seeing as im in a good mood and now have two whole days off ahead of me,i'll let that one slide.

Now just out of interest,why would a rep even think of answering a phone like that?

to be fair, not many of you have 'seen' me at all!

And that doesn't mean that you are not employed by them.:D As I know a plethora of people paid by a company that don't actually do any work!:D:D

It was the 08705 747747 number - I was asking about clubhouse access and the guy I was talking to put me through.
