I think I may have just seen the Vulcan fly past on the way from the Dawlish airshow to Dunsfold...

Market research phone calls ask the oddest questions sometimes. "Have you had any problems getting up or down stairs" (research for a stair lift company) followed by "Have you ever taken out a loan with Payment Protection Insurance?" (research for lawyers) followed by "Who is your energy supplier?" (research for an energy supplier?) followed by "Would you be interested in receiving a phone call about switching?" (researchtelesales for an energy supplier!).

I felt a bit mean answering all the "would you consider donate to such-and-such charity" questions with "don't know", but really I don't know unless I actually look into them and decide if I really want to donate to them or not. That answer also goes down surprisingly well with charity stalls in the shopping centre!
