One of us appear to be struggling with reading time
I will happily update this review if this is an error on my side, but as im writing this its Sunday 2nd June 4:30pm. I have attempted both the online chat and phone service, the chat bot just doesn't respond at all after the initial ''How can we help you'' message, and on the phone you get a message ''our offices are now closed, our opening hours are Monday- Sunday 8am-8pm'' and again its has just gone past 4:30pm. Same hours advertised online as well. Something aint adding up...
