Originally they said they had rung - then that the letter saying that they had

Don't they realise we can see through all that sh1te? I'm glad I rang
them not my Missus otherwise they would have learnt some new words!
The reason I'm more 'mellow' (for want of a better word) is the poor
creature you are actually speaking to often has no power over the
proceedings and is being paid a pittance to take loads of abuse. I
have learn't more truths about my problem by being 'nice' (but firm)
to the frontline folk, all handy ammo if it goes pear-shaped later.

[no I *couldn't* have made up a story like that!]

Nope, you often can't. Like a biker mate who seems to be very
'unlucky'. He's in his wifes car and get's hit up the backside by
bloke in a Merc. The Merc driver protests about exchanging 'details'
flings his business card at him and in his hurry to leave (we suspect
he may have been drunk) backs up, knocks my mate over then drives off
over his foot!

Nothing funny there! tries to stifle laughter

All the best ..
