Tea time: phone rings. “Do you get your gas from British Gas or E-On, Mr Pratt?”
“Why do you need to know?” I replied.
She rang off. Of course, they are not selling you anything but they do work for other people who do want to sell to you.
I know someone who, when ‘cold called’, says: “The householder died last week.”
That stops them in their tracks.
Nice one.
D Pratt (Mr), Plantation Street, Accrington.
