Just a quick question
I had a phone call from the club asking if I want to give 10% of my phone bill to the Wolves Youth Academy by mucking about with my phone account. I was eating a big bowl of tasty spaghetti at the time and being a bloke, I can't multitask.
Phone-bloke was really giving it the mighty hard sell. When I asked him what I had to do, he just kept saying if you confirm your details with me then you can really start showing your support. I decided not to on the principle that my Spaghetti had gone cold!
I just wondered if anyone else has done this? Do you have to change phone companies? Is it a hassle? Will it involve Leon Clarke getting any more of my money? Am I just tight?

In my case spaghetti always comes first before phone salesmen...in fact eating a rotting donkey would come first before phone salesmen!!

Best thing to do is play them at their own game. The call is costing you nothing financially and it's a bit of fun. Let them waste their time and money by showing a great deal of interest but still blow them out. Really pees them off.
I keep a whistle by the phone for just such an occasion (and a microwave to re-heat my spaghetti)

You can often get a surprising response if you ask them for their home phone number and tell them you will call them back about suppertime!

Got a call from them last night. I'm on cable so even if i wanted to i couldnt do what they wanted. However, They still wanted me to go around my neighbours, workmates and family to see if they would be interested. I mean, $$$$ off! I live in Sheffield......... The Dumb $$$$ didnt even realise my dial code was any different!

he was probably on an automated dialler so he didn't actually dial the number himself. Either that or he's a dumb $$$$!!
I got a call the other night from someone who wanted me to insure my water supply and waste pipes with them, that was from a Wolverhampton dialing code number. Do you think that Wolves are branching out? I don't know about supplying water, but Wolves have plenty of experience of disposal of $$$$.

not true - we give all of ours contracts to stay as long as possible.

Would you chose an insurer with the amount of leaks we've got in defence?

Why would you want to insure your water supply?

They are liquid assets
