Alice screamed inwardly: another telesales phone call.
“Good evening, madam. I’m calling from Wenceslas Energy. Can we interest you in one of our new winter fuel packages?”
“No.”
“You’re using solid fuel – kindling. Is that correct?”
“Yes, but – ”
“We can offer a better deal than your existing supplier.”
“But my kindling is free!” Alice yelled.
“Sign up today, we’ll throw in a free meal, with complimentary wine.”
“Just one meal?”
The caller sighed. “We ARE a commercial organisation, madam.” There was silence, then he said, “So can I interest you, madam?”
Silence.
“Madam?”
But the phone had gone dead....
