@Iota, The receptionists here do that now too. Although I don’t think they hide the fact it’s just for the sake of being nosey.

Ha! Well, try living in America, where the GP receptionists are not only all the things you describe the English ones as, but they also ask what you want an appointment for, before they make it for you. The thin pretext for this is that blocks of time are allocated for different appointments. But WE ALL KNOW it’s because they are nosy and want to know if you’re just coming in for an annual cervical smear test, or whether you will be discussing with the doctor which plastic surgeon he would recommend for your boob job.

Some excellent thoughts. There is a lot you can change to bring down your van insurance premium; easy changes such as improving security. People often look around for the cheapest van insurance estimate. Actually if you did simple things to become less risky, you’d probably save just as much cash.

@Dan,

Oh dear! Even the thought of sitting on a roof is too much for me…
I remember also my pathetic attempt at ‘undercover reporting’ when I had to ring a double glazing showroom and pose as a genuine customer. I was terrified and crap at it.

@The Mad House, Evan tends to approach random people in the supermarket and have a chat about whatever happens to be on his mind at that moment.

@Tara, the best thing is when they eventually say they are going to get you, you just leave the phone off the hook and see how long it is until they hang up.
