A month or more back a representative from Safestyle, Sussex House, Lower Stone Street, Maidstone, ME15 6YT called at my door, reassuring me that he was not selling me anything and offered me a free quote on double glazing with a special offer. Against my better judgement - I would not be able to afford this - I said yes to the quote.
I pondered what kind of quote could be given without measuring up. But, still, he said he'd post the quote later.
Later I get a phone call, seeing if they could come round to measure up. That touched the buttons, and I said I thought they'd be wasting their time.
Flashforward to this afternoon, and the phone is ringing just after I arrive home - Safestyle, Sussex House, Lower Stone Street, Maidstone, ME15 6YT are ringing to see if I got my quote. I ask if they are selling anything and they assure me they are not. But if they give me a quote, sure they want me to buy something? I point out I cancelled it, and rather pompously point out that I am registered with the Telephone Preference Service and they should remove me from their database.
Seven minutes later, the phone rings again and it is Safestyle, Sussex House, Lower Stone Street, Maidstone, ME15 6YT. I ask him if he is mad. Apparently not. I point out that this is the second call in seven minutes, and I want to speak to his supervisor. Sadly he is not available. In retrospect, I should have said I was prepared to wait.
I hung up.
But I suspect I may well fill in a few junk mail forms with their address. And maybe mail some cat litter their way.
