@Barclaycard Am I to assume that given you haven’t responded to my latest DM message we’ve just given up ?

[Jack Dearden @TheJackDearden]

@Barclaycard Given the current issues and problems in the world I realise this is relatively small fry, but just wondering if there’s any chance of someone actually answering the phone to resolve a query. Waited 44 minutes then got cut off !

None of your automated responses are able to resolve or advise. It would be nice to speak to a human being if any are available.This request actually comes from a human being, as I’m sure your records will confirm.
Regards,
Jacko.

Another piece in place. 🧩

[Jack Dearden @TheJackDearden]

Tried this without success sadly. This might be a radical suggestion, but why don’t you just call me a call given your communication methods don’t appear to work, given we appear to be running out of options?

Just a thought, in the light of a simple straightforward request which just needs clarification.
Jacko 👍

It’s the anniversary of this genial John McGinlay goal vs Boro in 1995.

The cheek of it.

Today is about one man, his family and the town that loved him ❤️
Sir Billy Boston came to Wigan as a teenager, made history, made Wigan his home.. today is his funeral 🤍
This... from those who were lucky to see him play, and his grandson.
