Michael/Charlie,
I haven't seen the email you're referring to. Any chance of putting it on this blog?

A number of people in the UK have recently fallen victim to the latest telephone scam.
The scammers leave a polite voice message on your voicemail and ask you to call them back as soon as possible.

Some people have been told that a family member is ill, or died or been arrested to ensure they call back.
The number to call back is prefixed with 0809, 0284 or 0876.

These numbers are registered in the Dominican Republic and are charged at £1,500 per minute to you.

The charges afterwards can become a real nightmare. That's because you actually DID make the call. If you complain, both your local phone company and your long distance carrier will not want to get involved and will most likely tell you that they are simply providing the billing for the foreign company. You'll end up dealing with a foreign company that argues they have done nothing wrong.

Please be careful.

Anyone out there had any problems with all this rain that we have had? Luck has been with us and we are still high and dry

No problem here in Tunbridge Wells but Tonbridge, 3 miles down the road, has suffered a fair bit.

No problems here on The Costa Del Sol Charlie just a bit cold, down to about 20c during the day and 16/17 at night. Still able to sit outside local bars with a glass or two of Vino Calapo Tinto. Bud

No problems around the Grantham area.
Further North some of lincs have had it rough with the winds.
