Didn't you make a note of their phone number when you opened the account
with them..?!

Got a call today on my mobile from 0800 0155079 - didn't recognise the
number (who would?), but thought it was one of those stupid calls from a
mobile phone company trying to sell me the latest phone at a special
discount rate, which I've been plagued with recently. Anyway, answered the
call and stuck mobile next to the now singing Christmas rocking reindeer one
of my work colleagues had planted on my desk "for season's cheer". The
rocking reindeer sang away his merry Christmas tune, and noticed that the
call carried on listening. At the end of the call, I picked up the phone
and shouted - "Got the message now, plonkers" and then put the phone down.
Whole office was in uproar!

Got home tonight and decided to see who 0800 0155079 really was and rang it,
only to discover its my new home insurance company I took out the other day
over the web. How was I to know?

Let me guess, you're one of these wankers who (despite being unemployed have
vast amounts of money to spend) have probably backed England to win the
World Cup aren't you?

Go on, admit it!!

As he has a 'work colleague' he's probably not unemployed - football fan, no
idea!!

Nope - account was opened on the web, and the Claim Line is not 0800.....

Perhaps you should read the OP - I was at work!! And I can't stand
football - fail to see the point of it all.

it was your colleague's singing reindeer - yeah right
