    I'm pretty sure it was all Bill's fault.....:eek: ;)

    This was the very first message after the original one that I got:

    "You are kidding aren’t you? This is just 15 days late for an April Fool…after about 15 years of paying you each month for ISP services you are proposing to make my life a real pain…and you want my business. Have you left for outer space already?? Which planet are you from??
    Oh, and don’t you use a clone of Google mail anyway?
    You better start trying to persuade me to stay by sorting this mess out…..
    Bill"

    Oh dear Bill! His surname was on it and he had also put his home & mobile numbers on it! Which then everyone else got! :(

    That was the first one I got as well.

    No apology or anything from Virgin yet.....

    I think that's fair enough because any message they sent today would probably get lost in amongst all the others, or treated as spam by email client programs.

    In this particular situation, however, the Provencal version, involving quatre-vingts of them might be more appropriate. ;)
    Definitely so, however my original joke was befuddled with beer and paint smells, what I meant was

    Poor Bill! who wrote the original reply email!

    Found this message from him among the others!

    Sorry.. this is Virgin on the ridiculous…!!Wow.. this is a real pain…something in this e mail from Virgin is sending e mails to people I don’t know and have no address for! I have a machine going mad... Don’t blame me…try Virgin….Please do not call me!!
    Bill

    Imagine how flustered he must have been when he realised he had sent his complaint email with all his personal details to so many!
