@bakevin Ah i see. Complex thing to discuss here with so many dimensions and factors playing a role for every person. I sometimes think there is fundamental disconnect between what companies say they want and what they need. Esp for older multi-talented people. Wish u luck on your quest!

[Steve Erlank @steveerlank]

@bakevin Its’ a function of size & product mate. A perennial conundrum for independents offering a service dependent on their skill or presence. When u r working, no time to find next contact. When looking for next contract u r not earning. Great question for possible colab/workshop? Hmm

[Steve Erlank @steveerlank]

@StandardBankZA Refer to correspondence and case documentation for contact details please.

[Steve Erlank @steveerlank]

What on earth is wrong with @StandardBankZA? We reported a very large fraud in December. Promised action within 6 working days. Heard nothing. Repeated calls to fraudline go unanswered. Refer Hellopeter to see how they have disappointed more than 30000 other South Africans.

[Steve Erlank @steveerlank]

@StandardBankZA Case no 2021-314638661. Correspondence with Welile Jele at Std Bank 5 Jan refers. unsatisfactory response regarding why funds were released when fraud investigation pending by you. Subpoena from SAPS being requested today. No further correspondence with you via Twitter.

@tomgree75651857 @StandardBankZA Thanks Tom. We will await the formal response of @standardBankZA and then it will probably be Ombudsmen and Consumer Protection etc etc. All avoidable had they acted timeously and diligently.

[Steve Erlank @steveerlank]

@StandardBankZA I will send the case number tomorrow. We reported a inadvertent R50000 payment to a fraudulent STD Bank account and were advised it had funds, and that it would be frozen pending investigation. The account has since been emptied. Our original error, your negligence.

Just had the worst support call experience with #mweb People nice but the process of authentication and diagnostics is appalling. Asking for your id after you just typed it in is only the start! Lesson: only *accountholder* actually standing at the router should report faults

What is it with #Telkomsucks. Applied two months ago for a fixed line transfer. Still waiting. In the meantime no less than 8 sales calls to try to sell me broadband services. Cancelling service & porting to Voip service with another provider. Existing customers first guys!

@sci_ba Hi Julian. So sorry to hear your cruel news. Even though I moved on from the BA world I still have great memories of our chats and debates. Strength my friend....

[Steve Erlank @steveerlank]

@UncommonLeague So sad to see this. An all-round great guy, amusing and inspiring. Hamba gahle Bob.

This is a terrifying analysis. No fake news here - just sobering observations. Has our government lost the plot in the last few weeks. https://t.co/LHrrChg1W2 via @News24

@LewisPugh @UNEP Just a bottle of #CapeDryGin from @deepsthdstlry for after! Oh wait- they’ve got some at SANAE! Go well Lewis

[Steve Erlank @steveerlank]

@UKAdrianReed @DeepSouthDstlry Thanks for taking the time to come and visit with @BulletProof_BA . Nice to tap into my old life now and then!

[Steve Erlank @steveerlank]

@RogerTregear @LeonardoBPM Competitive but rewarding. Our Cape Dry gin won Gin of the Year in London last month! Come visit😋

[Steve Erlank @steveerlank]

@RogerTregear @LeonardoBPM Best of luck Roger

[Steve Erlank @steveerlank]

So here I am, catching up on mail in my hotel in Sydney and listening to the mellow vibes of @AllJazzRadioZA and the friendly voice of my buddy Eric Alan streaming from @CapeTown. Feeling connected with home. Nice!

[Steve Erlank @steveerlank]

Wishing all my friends and past colleagues everything of the best at #BBCCon #bbcapability. Currently in Australia for ADA conference checking out gin scene with @DeepSouthDstlry . Have a good one, all!
