back to article Capita wins four out of five stars for 'good', 'inexpensive' service

Capita appears to have captured the hearts of locals in Waterloo, with reviewers rushing to shower the outfit with plaudits, and praising its “helpful and friendly staff” and “great value”. Laycee2008 gave Capita five stars, saying “Friendly staff and ave prices. Staff are really friendly too. We come back every time we're in …

    Phew...

    For a moment there I thought I'd wandered into a parallel universe, with strange definitions of “helpful and friendly staff” and “great value”, that I was previously unaware of.

    Advice for Government

    Only use Capita on projects of similar, or less, complexity to running a Kebab shop.

      I don't know, then you'd have to trust them to keep food in date and in stock...

    Beer can even make Capita better.

    "Apologies for any confusion"

    No confusion here at all as I immediately noticed that the R was missing.

    Don't tell them!

    I am sure that they would be horrified if they knew that they were being confused with the IT services industry giant.

    A Crapita Kebab

    - Hi, one large doner kebab please.

    - Certainly mate, that'll be £25.

    - Wha? HOW much? It says £5 on the menu!

    - That was printed yesterday guv. Prices may be ammended without prior notification.

    - Bloody 'ell! Oh well, I'm hungry, here you go. How long will it be?

    - If you come back in 3 days at the same time, it'll be ready for you then.

    - You're joking right? I'm starving, I can't wait that long!

    - Bit of a backlog in the system I'm afraid. Delivery dates are subject to random delays.

    - This is just not good enough! I want one now!

    - OK, OK, keep yer hair on guv! Look, I can give you this one, it'll be fine once I've scraped the dodgy bits off.

    - But thats just a piece of stale pita bread with some rancid tomatoes in it! Where's the meat and the rest of it?

    - I'm afraid you didn't mention other ingredients in the specifications mate. I can add those for an extra 30 quid though. There you go, a public sector special kebab!

    - FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

      Or even,

      - Hi, one large doner kebab please.

      - Certainly mate, that'll be £25m.

      - Wha? HOW much? It says £5 on the menu!

      - That was printed yesterday guv. Capita reserve the unconditional right to change its prices without due notification.

      - Oh ok, do you take GDS?

      - Yeah, no problem. Do you want the kebab cooked, since that costs an extra £5m?

      - Yes please, don't worry - the taxpayer is paying for it.

    Hmmm...

    Maybe we can help them put in a hostile takeover bid for the other Capita. Can't be any worse than the current regime, and these chaps seem Pretty customer focused and good value...

    Sauce aplenty

    > ..the IT services industry giant, which has no reputation for unlimited sauce.

    I disagree, Crapita have plenty of sauce, continuing to tender for IT projects with their dismal record.

    dammit

    ... I thought maybe you'd found me the perfect place to work. And on reflection, you may have done.
