I am actually getting sick of telephone calls from seemingly call centres around the world asking various questions, offering services, claiming I have won a holiday, and now the latest surge is from people saying "have I claimed my UK government grant for insulation?" In the last week I have had 4 calls on this same subject. Do the government ask these people to call us? Is there a percentage fee they take?
I had only just got back from London, and the Comedy Store, when one phoned and I could hardly understand a word he muttered, and there was lots of background noise and interference. In the morning I took one before I left. That person rang up, did not know my name, apologised for being slow and then said "sorry my system is very slow, and I cannot find your details", so I said "perhaps you should know who you are phoning and what you need to say before you make such a call", and I put the phone down!
And by the way I bought a Pastie at Charing Cross before I stepped up onto the train, and it had nothing in it virtually. £3.20 for doughy pastry and some gravy browning. I am going to use the feedback system at the station and mention the awful food. There was a time when you could depend on railway food being awful, but in many cases it has improved, now in this enlightened age of quality food, it has become awful again. Is it another austerity measure? So my mood went from what a great show to grumpy and moaning!
