Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Thank you everyone for you kind wishes, he still tested positive for covid this morning, but is able to get about with the aid of a walking stick, after his leg operation. That makes two of us hobbling about, Doctor today wants me to go for X-ray of both hips.

Renewed VM and paying £5 less than I have for the last 18 months. Took many calls and hours to agents all over the World in Manilla , Honduras, Papua New Guinea, Calcutta and Glasgow. I think VM must be SPECTRE in disguise.... A sideline maybe for money laundering?
The Scottish agent gave me a deal I liked. He understood about saving every penny and me being a tight wad

Our contract finishes in a couple of months so we will be looking for a reduction in our monthly bill.
l usually use the online chat facility when it comes bartering for a better deal.

Play hard ball Den, don't accept the first offer and play the 'I'm leaving card'. Alway worth trying another day with another person. And beware of Oddjob if he answers the phone

I always found Virgin were more willing to negotiate than Sky are. Managed to renew at less than new customers would pay so suppose that's something.
