They just played Heart songs i had to ring them a few times so each time i changed the type and it played heart every time0 -
should ring up and complain that you want something different if you pick soul rather than classical ?0

Many times I've found that swearing down the phone helps you get to the front of the queue quicker. Oh the number of times an operator has heard me screaming "..unts!" down the phone in frustration...
Also, sometimes when they put you "on hold", they've only actually put you on mute. You can't hear them but they can hear you calling them every name under the sun as clear as daylight. I only found this out once when one of them repeated almost every name back to me that I'd called him before icily continuing with my query!0 -
