They rang me yesterday, needless to say they got precisely nowhere!!

Breathing heavily, grunting, and asking what they are wearing is always a good laugh with these callers.

Had a run of them a few years back after I agreed to support a local kids charity, one of them when told I was'nt supporting anymore charities as I was peed off with people ringing every couple of days told me his mate worked for a company that could stop the calls, "oh right" says I all innocence, gave me his mates number, but then said when told him I was'nt interested I couldnt ring his mate and get my number removed, told him that was very interesting as I already knew about the TPS and it being a free service and that I now had his name his mates name and name of supposed charity and would be passing details on too trading standards he couldnt get off the phone quick enough

we had one last christmas from the 'police' doing a drink drive awareness booklet

(why a tree surgeon would want to advertise in it is anyones guess ??)

 

i said to the guy that i wasn't bothered thanks..

 

"WHAT !!!! not bothered about stopping drink driving !!!!!"

and gave me a 10 minute speech about the dangers of drink driving.

 

peed off with him going on at me i said "why wold i stop drink driving, how am i supposed to get home from the pub on a saturday night"...( i only live 100ft from our village local)

 

he went off his head :) ranting down the phone at me...if i didn't advertise he was passing my details onto the local force to get me !!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

p.s. for those on here with NO sense of humour.. i DO NOT drink and drive.....lol
