Mum and I have noticed recently that Dad has started to speak his mind a lot more than he used to. I took a sales call from a double-glazing company last weekend with Dad standing by my elbow and (for those of you who don’t know me well enough to know this) I am a very straight-speaking person. This doesn’t tend to go down well with telesales people who are frequently unnerved by the question “Is this a sales call?” Anyway, I was polite but firm with this particular caller and Dad could sense the caller’s intention I think, as when I was just about to hang up the phone but before I managed to quite press the button, he suddenly said “Yes! Piss off!” Telesales – you have been warned!
