@harrybakerpoet: In my defence, they donโt let you cancel online (which feels like it should be illegal?) ๐ค๐ป Shout out to the lovely customer services person! I have left them anonymous in case they get in trouble for helping out the enemy, but if only their journalistic colleagues were this friendly we wouldnโt be in this position. ๐งก (And yes weโre being classy and taking the moral high ground but weโre also trying to have a fun time/save ยฃ30 a month for the pot noodle fund) ๐ #harrybaker #lanky #toothy #square #moneysavingtips
โBetter not directly fund that if possible.โ ๐

OK so I went to read the review - "a lanky, toothy 33-year-old from Ealing" and towards the end "this earnest, polite, sweetly funny young square" and the reference to you being a vicar was "in another era, he would have made an excellent vicar". The reviewer suggests this from the fact that you've been featured at Greenbelt for years, your parents' involvement in worship, and that you told Desert Island Discs โFor me, poetry and prayer are often synonymous.โย So I completely get not supporting The Times, I don't think the reviewer said exactly what you suggest they said in the way that you suggest here. She may not be a fan of your poetry, which is her taste I suppose. ๐คท๐ผ

I bet her supervisor was right on her after that: "Why didn't you offer him 3 months free!!!!"

I think this hands down the best "why do you want to cancel" reason I've ever heard.
And now I'm going to listen to some of your poetry

isn't it a law that a subscription should be as easy to cancel as it was tonight up in the first place? e.g. subscribe online then cancel online

if you use a VPN you can cancel online, as in certain American states it is against the law to not offer online cancellation.
