Two questions today - How bad has Coronation Street become and will it ever stop raining?
Today it rained virtually all day and everything is now saturated. I suppose it wasn't too surprising as it was Friday 13th.
Oh and finally I finished the fourth book in the Harry Potter series. I am currently reading all seven in order on My Kindle and have to say the stories are wonderful. Okay they are slightly contrived with the get out clause to any difficult situation being a new spell, but there are so many themes there. One day I might just list the areas of interest including faith, friendship and many others.
So to Coronation Street. Everyone knows I love the programme but now they are just recycling the same sad and sorry storylines i.e Peter gets drunk, Peter apologises and goes to Alcoholics Anonymous, Peter gets drunk, Peter apologises and goes to Alcoholics Anonymous, Peter gets drunk (you probably get the idea) and then there's the other storyline Peter falls in love with Leanne, then falls in love with Carla, then ditches Leanne, then ditches Carla, then tries (oh what the hell you get the idea).
I call it the Eastenders syndrome, continually running the same stories e.g Phil Mitchell shouts, Phil Mitchell gets violent, Phil Mitchell breaks down, Phil Mitchell shouts etc ad nauseam.
From time to time I underline in my blog examples of good and bad service. Today it's bad. It amazes me that some companies survive despite treating their customers with contempt. The problem is they don't survive for long. My latest gripe is with a company called Jonny Canvas. They do canvas prints from photos. I won't go into all the boring details but I have been very unhappy with their service. I asked them to do a simple task as their customer and after getting nowhere was told they no longer wanted my custom and "didn't like my tone." Unfortunately they already have my payment which I'm now trying to get back. My suggestion is give them a wide berth.
