haha subway. There is one time I called these guys (their restaurant is just behind my building and I was too lazy to go down and get one) and I spent like 10min with the guy trying just to "describe" my building because "the one behind your restaurant" is not good enough and since my building doesn't have any shops/stores of any kind in the ground floor I used the building's colors which was also not enough then I moved on the describe adjacent buildings which only resulted on a misunderstanding from the guy thinking I live in one of those adjacent buildings until I finally snapped and, went down to the stupid restaurant and dragged the stupid guy and pointed to my building...

Have to admit, if I heard that one sentence down a phone line, I probably wouldnt understand you either.... Some punctuation might have ameliorated the situation...lol

I just don't speak to anyone now apart from the pizza place in the marina who store your location on their computer, and the lovely lady speaks excellent English. I have needed some new curtains for 4 months, I can't bring myself to ring the guy to come because it will involve 20 phone calls about the location. My decorator has been flown in from the UK!! is it worth it, yes!!!

I would have smacked you round the chops with a bottle of southwest sauce if you'd dragged me out....

the thing what pisses me off is that my building is EXACTLY behind them!! Why can't they store the location like PizzaHut or something.
