FOLLOWING my ‘Down the line’ letter (Oxford Mail ViewPoints, March 22), in which I listed calls from strangers inquiring as to my satisfaction, or otherwise, with services never solicited nor provided and the like, may I add that I have just received a telephone message beginning: “We have been trying to contact you regarding your recent car accident.”
The last time I travelled in such a contraption was in January 2009, fortunately without mishap.
I personally found this communication utterly pathetic, but it is not difficult to envisage circumstances in which such nonsense could cause considerable distress to some people.
Any suggestion as to how we can put a stop to it?
