    Think I might be decluttering my Broadband supplier.

    So I get a call offering me an 'upgrade'. No point in interrupting him in mid flow, so I wait for him to draw breath and say - politely - that I am happy with my present deal and do not want to upgrade.

    He hung up on me :mad:

    Sorry - I'm the customer - you called me - I declined your offer - you apologise for bothering me and end the call politely.

    Trouble is I am on a good deal and don't really want the hassle of notifying all the organisations etc. that have my email address.

    Natty - Happy Anniversary

    No flying yet today but I have:

    put wm1 on the line
    done an hour in the front garden
    been to town/bank/po with DS1

    I now need to go back to town as I had forgotten his letter :mad: for 20% sixth forms and I need that discount. Still the cycling will be good for me.

    See you all later
