Just had a call from BG.

Salesgirl: Hello this is BG we have some fantastic deals if you switch to us.

Me: What do you call 'fantastic'

Me very sceptical. Her, keeps repeating the word 'fantastic' Cut down version.

SG: We can save you 20% over your current supplier. That's a fantastic saving. How much do you use?

Me: Dunno but it costs me

Well, I just tried to register on Maff's site and it came back with both my numbers are already registered. I do remembering registering via the Watchdog site a few years ago after being peed off at getting faxes at all hours.

I also tried to register a complaint today, via telephone, with the Ombudsman, about BG but they don't work weekends.

Maybe I'll try again on Monday now if it'll get them into deeper trouble

When David was a toddler of 2 or 3, I would listen to what the caller had to say, which usually took a few minutes, make some excuse about someone being at the door and hand the phone to David who would gurgle intelligibly at them while I sat back watching TV. Once a suitable time had elapsed, I'd take the phone and say "Sorry, what did you say"
