    This is the country that can't build anything of their own all they do is copy our stuff and do it cheaper. This is the country that still makes a car thats over 50 years old ! . They read from a script they know nothing beyond it ! , I spent over 20 minutes once working for BT explaining what a gas pipe is !. The sooner people and companies realise that they are providing poor service , crap software the better..

Having dealt with the software that they write most of the time it needs rewriting because its crap.

    Outsourcing is bad
