I've had one from BT's tech dept in the last week. The voice sounded like a robot and apparently hackers were actively trying to ... well, err, hack me at that very moment. Me, would you believe it, and a poor little northern boy at that. Have they no shame! The indignity of it ...
A few days later I received an early evening call from the gift of the gab himself with a very large plumb in his gob. He was trying to flog me a wine investment??? Hic! His pitch finally fell apart (it had been from the off) when he asked me to confirm my details as he could not apparently do so because of a recent power cut to their systems. My cordless phone had been beeping since shortly before in protest at low battery power so I precluded the inevitable at that point and quietly and calmly put the phone down.
