the award for astute reader of the day goes to will :-)

the story should read - 40 minutes a week, which comes up to a more respectable 2080 minutes a year - or just under a day and a half a year - or 124800 seconds - or 108 day in an average lifetime are spend waiting on the phone :-)

About a month ago I contacted Adusbef via email for some assistance in dealing with Italian gas and electricity utility companies. Never heard back from them. Figurati!

when speaking to any of the service companies...that is if you get through.... if they do not like what you say...or ask to speak to a supervisor they hang up.....

however telephones are one thing...its taken us six months...to get enel to send a gas bill to the right address.... despite official leters and faxes and agreements over the telephone.... every two months we wait until the neighbours get theres and then phone up to ask how much we have to pay ....

you might say why bother.... well they also threatened to cut us off the first time we didnt get a bill and didnt pay them....

still we did get our fourth bill ...8 months after they connected us to the gas....
