Dan, there are tears running down my face, it's hysterical - nice one!

If I'm in the mood I will often have conversations with the chaps in Indian call centres when they ring. I got huge laughs from one very sociable chap when I told that all this mobile phone and broadband technology was unheard of in rural Wales and I wished I lived in India like him so I could experience it for myself!

I occasionally ask the marketeers to wait and I then put the phone alongside the radio which is then promptly tuned to the Welsh language Radio Cymru.

After a few minutes they usually give up!

The closest I've had to that sort of thing was answering the door to electricity/gas sales people.

I opened the door to one such person and they asked me if my parents were in, I looked at my watch and said "yes" and just stood there, after about a minute he asked if he could come in and speak to them. I said he could speak to them if he wanted but he'd have to drive the 30 odd miles to their house first. That was when he left. I didn't think I looked that young.
