'Mumbai (aka Bombay) Call centre' is really beginning to 'p***' me off big time!

Ok, we all have a landline, whether we use it or not as our main point of contact is not really the problem ... we all have mobiles!

For the last two years, at least, do we regularly get 3-4 landline calls from (see above) per day. Seeing as we have aged parents and we are aged ourselves, this is getting too tiresome.

We have tried all the usual routes ie TPS and BT themselves but the excuses and the 'bulls***' is the same! Our landline is ex-directory as well, which means to me that it's been sold on with some database from perhaps the local council ... Electoral Role etc etc However, we always select the more selective version. We also had 'Caller Display' but most of these calls don't appear or aren't recognised.

Next stop I think is going to be direct contact with our local MP to see what 'The Government can do Ron'.

So, rant question ... how do you stop 'Mumbai (aka Bombay) Call centre' ...

...believe me I've tried and after a call this evening 15 minutes ago, when I expected it to be an aged relative, I am slowly becoming Duke Nukem ...

No, tomorrow doesn't look promising at all.

Right, off to do the school run and then back home, dinner, and out to a concert my eldest is in for school.

I'm around now pb! Spent the entire morning with my 90 yr old father at his surgery for two appointments. One with the doctor at 10.20 and one with the nurse at 10.40! Simples! Oh no it wasn't ... arrived at 10.10 saw the doctor at 11.15 and the nurse at 11.30. The doctor was a waste of time and the nurse managed her tasks admirably. So including collecting him and delivering him back home, 3 and half hours wasted!

And yes, the weather is glorious now, but not looking good for tomorrow!

Anyone around today, or are you busy enjoying the sun?

Indeed, and remember that it was their war fought for all of us so that we could break down barriers that divided nations. When nations joined to fight the enemy; not a country, but hate and prejudice.

Let us hope their sacrifice is not forgotten in today's society.

And please remember folks ...

Tomorrow, 6th June 2014 is the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day landings. My father was a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm and was fighting in the Pacific. My father-in-law was a Para and took part in the capture of Pegasus Bridge ... Today

Remember them

Ok ... I've got an inflatable banana and an inflatable Princess Castle Ball pit/paddling pool! Guess neither have teeth but can you imagine the headlines ...

"Coast Guards searching for the missing canoeist in the Irish Sea, spotted a Killer Princess Castle Ball pit/paddling pool earlier today. Experts say that this is unusual as at this time of the year, as they are usually deflated ... "

Ha ha! :)

Great idea Chas, how many Great Whites do you reckon there are off the west coast of Rhyl?!

Now then pete, I just so happen to have a friend, who has a friend who has an inflatable Great White (except it's fluorescent pink)! Wouldn't it be suitable? Seems to be a waste to forgo such a brilliant scheme ;¬)

At least one, going by your little "accident"...
