[Tech1] Suspicious message

[Pat Heigham]

Good point, Dave,

I do not employ auto-screening, so I still have the facility to answer 
and find out who's calling.

Who would have thought that Bell's invention should develop into 
something really irritating.

And I have a hate against Microsoft! (Which keeps interfering with what 
I'm working on).
Remember that irritating paperclip?
I would really love to see a (Panorama?) fly-on-the wall programme in 
the boardroom
when new ideas are put forward for brand image, logos, ad script etc.
I would want an interactive reply system to tell them if it's a lousy idea!

Hope your waterworks dept is OK!
It's a bugger getting old.
I only realised this when I hit 79 in 2021.
Both my knees started protesting.
