Wednesday lunchtime, an aggressive American woman inserted herself between my desktop screen and me and harangued me about some
virus, exhorting me not to turn off my
computer but phone a toll-free number to have it all put right. I didn’t, of
course and, long story short took my laptop to Currys where an efficient and
friendly woman put it all right, while telling
me that phoning that number would’ve resulted in my bank account being emptied.
I did ask Terrie to be prepared to post prompt words, but that having been
unnecessary, and then me having woken later than usual so not posting this as soon
as intended, I think the above could stand instead as words for next week.
As ever, much thanks to those
stalwarts who contributed last week, and I look forward to seeing what you make
of the above.
