\"Whale<\/a>The Sweet Service Award<\/strong> goes to Crystal Clearwater Pools in Sea Point, for its excellent service in identifying the cause for the pool cleaner not working at our Whale Cottage Camps Bay. \u00a0They reset the timer and solved a blockage by cutting off a piece of pipe, to make the pool cleaner work again, at a call out fee of R380. \u00a0We were horrified that we had almost been duped by another pool company, based in Gardens, as their prognosis was that the pump was broken, and should be replaced, at a cost of R2450!<\/p>\n

\"Vodacom<\/a>The Sour Service Award<\/strong> goes to Vodacom, for its continued poor reception in Hermanus, Camps Bay, and Franschhoek, a problem we have reported via Twitter continuously in the past five months. \u00a0When we Tweet, we receive a phone call, get told the the problem will be ‘escalated to the technical team<\/em>‘, and then we never hear any feedback about the poor reception again, nor does it become any better! \u00a0It is impossible to make\/receive calls inside buildings in these towns!<\/p>\n

The\u00a0WhaleTales Sweet & Sour Service Awards<\/strong>\u00a0are presented every Friday on the WhaleTales blog.\u00a0 Nominations for the Sweet and Sour Service Awards can be sent to Chris von Ulmenstein at\u00a0\u00a0whalecot@iafrica.com<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 Past winners of the Sweet and Sour Service Awards can be read on the Friday posts of this blog, and in the\u00a0WhaleTales\u00a0<\/strong>newsletters on the\u00a0www.whalecottage.com<\/a>\u00a0website.<\/p>\n
