I don't disagree with your point, but it comes across as a bit tittle tattle-ish.
If you knew me SRG you would know that I don't care for or engage in tittle tattle.

This is nothing to do with the minor issue of me overhearing a single sales agent and there was no point in me mentioning it to the sales agent who - quite rightly - is interested in getting their (sales) job done. This is a corporate issue covering ALL sales agents / calls centres for BA and as a responsible adult I contacted BA and raised the issue with them. What BA choose to do about it is up to them.

I think your response completely misses the big picture. I have not complained about a sales agent. I have raised a general concern about data protection with a PLC.

Look, let's just drop it now. I've done my bit so why don't you all go off and flame someone else.
