Today I got a text message (SMS) from Vodafone, like I do regularly, stating:
“Vodafone would like to welcome you to Albania. For voicemail dial 121…. blah blah blah”

Welcome me??? ENOUGH ALREADY! I have been here for almost 5 months without stepping foot off these Godforsaken shores. Can you please just quit it. I don’t feel welcome and another 1000 texts from you isn’t going to make me feel all warm and fuzzy!
I don’t mind if you start texting saying: “Vodafone is so damn happy to have you here we would like to offer you free international calls and a 6 pack of beer”. You can then text me daily! I know where you live. I’ll even come and collect.







Bloody annoying. A few years ago we had a holiday villa in the Pyrenees: every time you turned round you picked up either a French or Spanish service - with the inevitable damn message!
Oh damn that would be annoying. Fortunately I only have one idiot provider to deal with!
