When you phone the system scum at DVLA they answer the phone immediately
(so you are charged minimum call fee at the con lo-call rate) then say
sorry all our 220 advisors are busy (I dont beleive they really have 220
in work at their desks, can anyone confirm the truth of that statement)
but they have no waiting queue, so the caller has just payed the 5p
minimum charge for hardly any phone time at all, and then phone back
umpteen times probably to get the same message and charge, nice little
earner for just having a taped message. I understand the holder of the
number also gets a kick back for lo-call calls, that is just daylight
robbery, getting paid to provide a service they should provide free
anyway.

This is the shape of everything under new liebour, just con and spin.

Well I think the british people should make them "cons" and lock the
cheating lying private school educated ubermensch scum up for a very long
time.

In fact I personally would like to see criminalisation of the freemasons
as well, those masters of the lie (and secret government)

Your not calling a premium rate no as you said its local 5p rate. So DVLA
dont make the money on the phone its BT


There is actually a very tiny sum paid to the "owner" of the number.

This is how dial up ISPs are able to make money from "free" accounts
where the call uses an 0845 number.


But that is a special case; ISPs are regarded as telecomms
companies, and ofcom said in the dim and distant past that BT had to
give discounts to other telecomms companies. So the discount equates to
the proportion of the 5p per minute that the ISP "makes".

Non telecomms companies don't get anything...
