The brass neck of foreign cold callers amazes me. Phonecall received this evening :
- hello, can I speak to Mrs Whodjamaflip?
- you'll struggle, she hasn't lived here in 8 years
- so I assume you have control of paying the phonebill?
- no I don't, he's out at the moment
- well, I'm sure you can make a decision for the bill payer though, can't you?
It is worth pointing out that at this stage I was so shocked I didn't even swear at him! Just told him 'no, I can't make a decision, the cheek of it! I'm not interested, goodbye'.
So, I wonder how many 3yo toddlers have changed telephone providers for their parents, or bought them a new conservatory or a house full of new double glazing?!
