Tell me somebody else got this phone call?

from a rather nervous sounding woman from what I think was a Windows & Blinds company saying that I am the "runner-up" of a prize (of which the main prize was tickets to the Hampton Court Flower Show) and my prize is...


... a set of their brochures.


I am not kidding.


Would I like to call them back? Would I HELL!!!

    If they send you them in the post you could do what I do and put a big cross through your name and address, circle the return address/sender address and write in huge letters - RETURN TO SENDER - DON'T SEND ANY MORE THANKS AS NOT INTERESTED! Then pop them back into the postbox!

    I do that with most of the unwanted brochures I get! Saves filling my recycling bin!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    or if they are on soft flushable paper you could be really MSE and reuse them...

    From a Bristol based number??

    I had a missed call yesterday, googled it and lots of sites saying they are a nuisance caller company selling blinds - glad I didn't answer if it's the same one!
