Mum just mentioned to me on the phone that she had had a call from someone trying to convince her to change her utilities supplier:
"So, Mrs Krankie, how much do you pay for your electric? Did you know you can combine your gas and electric into one bill? "
"My electric what, dear? "
" I'm sorry?"
"and so you should be. If I want a new elecTRICITY supplier I'll choose one with a better knowledge of grammar. "
"er, are you a teacher Missus?"
