This is just a typical example of a fucked up Britain.
Yesterday I received 5 phone calls from my cable company.
Caller: Hello, this is Virgin Media, can we have your password please?
Fid: Um, sorry, I'm not going to give any Tom, Dick or Harry my password who claims to be from Virgin Media.
Caller: But we need your password to discuss this matter.
Fid: What matter?
Caller: We need your password
Fid: I'm not in the position of giving you my password, you could be anyone, how do I know you are Virgin Media?
Caller: Okay.
**Hangs up.
This happened 5 times... on a Saturday!
So, I call Virgin Media, I have no problem giving them my password if it is I who calls them.
They can confirm that an outside company now makes 'courtesy calls' to Virgin Media customers to remind them that their bill is due.
I ask when my bill is due.
March 10th Sir, they tell me!
18 days away!
