What can we do?

This is the last of 5 initial postings by the blog author to provide the background to the blog. Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom and work your way up to get the full picture.

We can all pass comments to the companies that we deal with who use 0845 numbers. I feel that these are more likely to be successful if made politely, with all of the issues clearly described.





However: I think it would be sensible to find out a few things first:

1. Is any of what I am saying materially inaccurate?



2. How many people agree with me?



3. How many disagree?



4. What other information or opinions are held by those reading this blog?



5. How many people have read the blog?



6. What is the strength of feeling?



7. Are you prepared to take action?



8. How can we spread the word?



9. How many supporters are there?



10. How many can we get?



11. What are the views on what the issues are for the businesses?



12. Should we prepare a register of offenders?



13. How best can we orchestrate our actions?



14. Is a petition best, or are individual customer complaints better?

I'm sure there's much more, but overall, it will need some time to ferment, if only to spread the word, gain support to a volume likely to have impact and ensure our facts are right.

So, it's over to all of you now to have your say.

All the best
