We all know the nightmare of telephone menus. I haven't yet used this site in anger, but it looks very useful.

It's clearly the handiwork of someone who’s had to deal with one automated call centre too many.
A new website is mapping out how to get past the infuriating telephone menus that greet you when you call your bank, insurer or the tax office.
The bane of virtually anyone who needs to access a service over the phone, companies’  interminable list of recorded ‘options’ never seem to quickly offer the department you want.

I might start using that site. I often use "saynoto0870" - I hate paying over the top to phone people who are already making money out of us.

I had to ring Argos a couple of weeks ago and that was quite frustrating so I could have done with a shortcut then.
