RESPONSE: They call me every second day - even though I am subscribed to a service that prohibits them calling me! They call themselves Ash, Peter, John and so forth and so on. Unfortunately all of them have a quasi American twang! For the record even our local telesales people do not talk like that! That sort of speak is almost long dead and gone, together with the wealth! Now footballers and the like hold forth and every second second sentence is followed by " you know" ! I am left seething - because I don't know...cannot follow....bloody twerps! Perhaps we are evolving to the stage whereby we automatically know what is said and stated - very soon we shall be knowing what each of us means without having to speak!!!! -- DEV BOREM KORUM Gabe Menezes.
