Com Fred Brick owns bricks Fine furniture the Telephone company owes us Money we All pay our beloved Telephone company a pretty hefty chunk of Mololah for their services. Like a few others they have ways to squeeze a Little More out of us. For instance i pay a wee bit every month for line insurance. This i think insures me against having to pay for digging up the greater part of the Nord end to find the errant wire. Ive availed myself of this insurance cause a few times whenever it really Rains hard which scares my new dog Occomy Telephone seems to go on the Fritz. The Telephone repairman tells me this is because the underground lines Are wet. His method of restoring the line is to give it time to dry out Down below. For this i pay insurance now i could be wrong but it seems to me our its has another Way to make some extra scratch. They give time on Telephone lines specifically yours and mine to advertisers and refuse to share any of the wealth they derive with us i bet you re shocked heres the Way i think this Little game is played. Firms Are allowed to Call you and give you a message telling you How wonderful they Are. Weave All received this kind of Call and we can hang up if we so desire. But not with this latest gimmick. No matter How hard you try your Telephone keeps playing their tune till the finance company or whoever finishes their Spiel they also phone at times when they re sure youll be Home like supper time with the family. It can drive you Wacky. In our end of town one of the candidates running for political office uses this service and i find it intrusive. Ism sure the users of this ploy pay its for this service and if so they should split the bread with us tortured customers or better yet get rid of it altogether my Young Puppy Coco says maybe we should look for a new phone service one that gives Doggy treats to customers a not bad Coco but lets try for some free Beer instead.
