Quoting Richard Ibbotson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Also, my mobile
phone runs on the Three network - www.three.co.uk - this is the worst
mobile phone network that I have ever come across. Believe me, I've
seen some bad networks and mostly in the United States. You call the
three call centre and someone comes back with some Bindi Badger
(curried badger/wombat) type of language which is completely
unintelligible and then they proceed to screw up everything....
yes...
but at least no matter where you are in the world and call you still
get the same call centre with the same people ...
at the very least it is consistant no matter where you go...
:-)
Well all I can say to other comments is the British and Americans and
Germans are all making a stack of money out of India. They are doing
something right that Australia as a country is not. Well, we export a
lot of gold there so that is one thing.
As for higher level skills, recently, Morris Yemma whoever whatever
recently went to India and offered to use NSW as a labour supply to
the Tata company. After being wined and dined and probably offered a
lot of Kingfisher beer.
I would say India is a fascinating country for technology...
It has achieved what the Australian politicians promised us - (vibrant
exporting IT industry) - and we have largely been left stuck up the
billabong.
funny accents and funny smells yes
but you gotta give it to them, they have done wonders with software
and computers...
such a pity our political leaders aren't actually smart enough to
figure out how they have done it.... but they don't mind spending our
hard earned money on some wining and dining and partying to try to
figure it out....
