- It's one of the worst feelings in the world, being conned. After my
- experiences, I've decided to never buy goods by mail order again - I'd
- say an extra tenner or so in the shop is a fair premium to pay for a
- definite delivery. Of course, I'm not implying that all mail order merchants
- and swindlers; once bitten though...

- Wow! 3200! That's a lot ;-) No wonder you felt...

- I think that more or less sums up my feelings on the subject as well. I
- wouldn't normally hit a woman - but the WTS secretary had the most irritating,
- whining, dumb Essex type accent I've heard in my life. While she was giving
- me the "Oi'm jest a dimb secretary, Oi know nafink", "It's not me job",
- "me boss is in a meeeeeting" spiels, I really wanted to perform hideously
- cruel acts of torture on her. I'd have liked to see her polish her nails
- after I'd extracted them ;-)
-
- Anyway, enough of this catharsis...
