Re: How can we make a difference?

Get English staff who understand UK regional dialects! Due to a forthcoming change in circumstances the week after next, I've had to ring up a few times last week, the call centre Agents don't even understand what I'm saying.

 

In context, I'm deaf/hard of hearing and have a loud voice, so people think I'm shouting when I'm not, I also have a very broad Yorkshire accent (I'm from Sheffield, aged just turned 49 3 weeks tomorrow ago, kind of "old school" accent), the majority of non UK call centres and even some UK ones don't understand me and it seriously winds me up.

For further context, I'm also formally diagnosed (23.10.1999) with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
