Autotrader VIP Club?!

[mudcow007]

anyone else had a call of the "autotrader" asking you to join their VIP club?

the only way i could get rid of them was to say i don't own a car any more (we do)

i dunno what it is/ was but sounded pricey

I bet they call you back next week telling you that you've won the Nigerian lottery.

What are you wearing?
Are they red?
Do you like being rubbed with goose fat?
Do you like toys in bed?

I ask for them to hold for a second, then put the phone next to laptop playing Cotton Eye Joe on repeat, to see how long they last.

If legit, perhaps an attempt by them to shuffle into the more posher buyers market - ''oh you like ferrari's do you sir, well we will inform you first as a prestigious ferrari owner when we have one for sale - join the club''

I did wonder a few months back why they'd added a 'prestige cars' section when you could previously find all the same cars on the normal search form.

Now it links to
https://www.topmarques.co.uk/
Which still seems like autotrader, but only searches for expensive cars

Whiff of arrogance about it

I used to do phone work and I always preferred a good, honest Hangup, rather than some twat getting all bald about his phone... just put the fucker down then, I can't hang up on you otherwise some knob will come and tell me off. So, I will have to patiently check my phone or carry on with my crossword or put you on silent while I talk to someone whilst you get yourself worked up.

Never used to mind the ones who just walked off, it used to give a few minutes breathing space. Some people would stay on the line though and then go for their breaks and shit so they blocked the line.

I'll do the odd market research thing and have switched energy supplier a couple of times, I always give them a fair hearing. Unless it's one of those American sounding asians selling something I don't really understand, they get the hangup. Can't be arsed with that shit.
