Britain is a country where 'cold callers' on the telephone prey on old men

I had a call last week from a young man who wanted to sell me the 'energy'- gas and electricity- from his company.

He asked me : " Who do you get your energy from ?"
I said : " That's private".
He said : " That can't be private".

I put the phone down.

I had a call today, purportedly from my Bank.
Someone from 'India' ? spoke very quickly to me.
I asked her to slow down and said : " Are you trying to sell me something ?"
Her reply was garbled.

I put the phone down.

Britain today : a country employing telephone predators.
