						Doubt it. He's still trying to offload last year's Christmas. Would you believe he tried selling it to me last week for a meat & potato pie and a packet of Hubba Bubba?

						Yes but he will want to offload next Christmas as no one will want 2011 Christmas gifts next year.

						 I had a telephone call from a company telling me that my computer had been infected with viruses so I played along. I would have thought that they might have sussed when I told them that I could not see a Start button in the lower left hand of the screen. I kept them on the phone for ten minutes and when they asked me to go to a website and press the remote access button I said no they hung up on me.

						 Yep. And the police couldn't care less. We tried to report it once, but they weren't interested as it was only potential fraud because we hadn't fallen for it.

						When they called my mother in law, thankfully she didn't give any information but she did phone the police and the next day a poor defenceless police officer had the full Geordie hospitality treatment when she called round to get the details. so some police forces do take it seriously.
