    So arrogant they are. It took me days to track them down, because they re-route their calls through foreign call centres but after trawling various forums and websites, I found them.
    I phoned the company and they point blank refused to remove my number, well said they couldn't. So I told them fine, keep calling and I will send you an invoice for my time on a weekly basis. I was getting over 40 calls a week by this point :eek: after the first 2 invoices the calls stopped. The reasonable amount of time I gave them to pay the invoices is just about up too. :cool:

    They actually had a "luxury" meal at one of my pubs the other night... cost £18.95:eek::eek:. Most people weren't going for it... but then I overheard one person order it:eek:. Thing was the bartender explained it wasn't even double size portions - it was the same size but with a few things added. The customer still ordered it. Compared to less than half the price on the normal version. That said - that pub is expensive anyway: doesn't have '2 for 1s' on. But £18.95?!?:eek: (Maybe it's even more expensive dine south?) That 'magic' word "luxury" does work on some people! Pub's description of it of course. It's "luxurious", gives an image of being more valuable and thus worth paying more for. The key word is image, or impression (not reality)!

    On expenses innit :cool:

    Could have been. Impossible to tell. But I doubt it was.

    :rotfl::rotfl:Well done!:T I like the style:D.:)

    [Edit: :doh:Sorry, maybe I miss the point: 40 calls a week is unreasonable. Nuisance and harrassing really. So, certainly if they are going to have you undertake that 'detriment', they can pay for the privilege. Hopefully a quite extortionate (but pre-warned) and unrestrained amount of charges:rotfl:.]

    Thanks :D

    I figured out why my runkeeper lied to me- it had me zig zagging across the road every few metres :rotfl::rotfl:

    Totally misread that. Had visions of zag and zippy running across the road. :eek::eek::eek:
