This is not a joke...

Post by petermcleland »

The mail just arrived...I only had one letter and it was from BT...I imagined it was a bill and I opened it...Well the contents left me speechless and I wondered if I might frame it...Then I thought "No! I'll put it on the Internet as some sort of monument to something?"

I clipped the top off it to remove my address and since I just don't know what to say about it, I thought I would leave it for you chaps to comment:-

If you do decide to blow it all in one go Peter and you want value for money...........

May I suggest a payware Trident. :worried:

Of course at that price it is more expensive than the alternative....but being payware it must be better :roll:

I'm sure Dave could supply you with a peanut or a crisp (salt or vinegar) in the snug to celebrate such new-found wealth.

Of course.. the other side of the coin is that they'd probably threaten you with legal action had you owed them the penny :roll:

The mind boggles :roll:

It could be worse Peter, a workmate recently had a council tax arrears bill of £0.00 with demands of payment or court action....being the sort of bloke that he is he let it go to court, turned up in his best bib and tucker....he got a huge apology and left behind an extremely embarrassed council official and an even more agitated magistrate :lol:

As to the penny...the paper is probably worth more so I'd frame it......it might be worth tuppence in a few years :lol:

Peter......your cheque is PRICELESS!

You might want to photocopy it and send it to the Chairman of the Board.

When I was with Royal & Sun Alliance I had to send a few of those out when people cancelled their policy. Was always worth a laugh round the office. :lol:
Best rebate I ever seen was for like £75,000 on a commercial combined policy :o
