Tales from the front

It's just like the "I'm calling about your unclaimed PPI overpayment from you loans" line. I always answer " what loans, I've never had a loan because I'm cash rich and have no need of them" they stutter and fart about trying to keep to the script and I hang up. I'm actually as poor as a church mouse.

Here's a new and nasty cold calling technique I've just had a call about. Lady has a message on her phone from the Highways Agency saying that they wanted to speak to her about an accident. Rung them back and got a very professional recorded message about them being too busy to take calls at the moment but would ring back later. She is now worried stiff that a friend or family member has been involved in an accident. When they call back three hours later she is by now distraught but realises that the caller is telling her that she has been cited as the third party in a collision. When she pointed out that she can't drive because of medical grounds they cut her off. The number they called from was 01707 608 679. No reply when I called it so advise your better halves and family members about this nasty team of ambulance chasers.
For the record only the police investigate accidents and we always come to your house to deliver bad news.

The sly bastards.

Meanwhile the girl next to me is dealing with a hysterical woman who's mother has just been stabbed in the head by her boyfriend. Such is life here.

Just had a call from a Russian lady telling me that there is a secret department in Lewisham hospital where they stab people with narcotics and kidnap them but she managed to escape.... I do hope so.

I was working as a medic at the parklife music festival this weekend. Virtually the whole of GMP was there and a load from the NCA they were expecting trouble and it did arrive alongside the usual drugs etc. Every dealing I had with them was pleasant and I always saw them acting professionally even with those I'm sure they wanted to give a shoeing to.

Sadly every word is recorded so I have to reign in my instinctive response

What a plonker though.

I had a Simpsons moment yesterday when my last call of the day was a man who dialed 999 to ask for the non-emergency number
