I'm not sure if this is where to post this but:

Whenever I am approached by those annoying canvassers in supermarkets or the high street etc, to sign up to their electricity/gas/phone deal, I tell them I could save them money and give them Martin's website. They usually get very interested, write it down and thank me, without me signing a thing!!! :D

Are any of you out there? :p

(The ones that really annoy me are those in supermarkets. I'm on the telephone/mailing/faxing preference service lists, but that doesn't help when you are choosing your loaf of bread, and then approached by a sellsman/women in the middle of your shopping - leave me alone to shop, that's what I came here to do!!) Rant over. :)
The only stupid question, is an unasked question ...

    My son uses this site as leverage when he's at work, lol.

    He works in a small cafe/restaurant at the weekend and tells the waitresses he'll give them the name of a good site if they keep him a scone or a bit cake at the end of the day.

    He then forgets the address and has to ask me. Needless to say, I tell him I will give him the address for the price of a scone or bit of cake. :)

    So thank you Martin, you are indirectly feeding my family. ;)
    Herman - MP for all! :)

    Brilliant thread!! It's nice to read the stories about how we share the URL with others.


    So, Martin. We are all keen to share it would appear, why not get the team to create a mixture of banners. We will then be able to add them to our website and link here, saving our visitors 1000,s per year?
  • LOL - a few weeks ago I was nabbed in Tesco's by a lady trying to tell me she could save me money on my phone bills. When I Told her how much I used the phone and where and when I called, then told her how little I paid, she nearly fell over :D

    She ended up writing this site address down because she admitted there was no way she could beat my deal and she was looking forward to reading this site. Hopefully another convert. :D

    LOL, I do this all the time, i think i must come across as a bit mad at times, i tell complete strangers about MSE and how they can save a packet on stuff, I carry a pad now with the web address on so i can give them out, just incase they say they dont have a pen and paper LOL.

    Might cut down on my chances of freebies, grabbing a bargain or winning a comp, but what the hell, if ya got it share it :):)
    Nobody can make you feel inferior, without your permission ;)
