I too went to see "best exotic Marigold Hotel" and like you - can't recommend it highly enough. I loved the pastel shades of the buildings - rather crumbly (or is that crummy!) with the peeling paint of days gone by.

A fairly posh lady sat next to us and she muttered "Well, good film, but it wouldn't persuade me to go to India".

I had to bite my tongue because I really wanted to say

..."and India will be eternally grateful Madam!"

Have you seen LADIES IN LAVENDER? Judy Dench and Maggie Smith at their Very Best!

Another "Best exotic Marigold hotel" fan here. I'm glad I went.....it made me feel young!

I loved both those films. I`m a great fan of Judi dench.(and Maggie Smith)
I feel rather sorry for the Call centre employees. Bright young graduates, destined to make unwelcome calls and probably to receive abuse. Not sorry enough to respond to them, alas. M.

Tell them you work for Microsoft!

@ sallyw

I too have been plagued by "you have a problem with your computer" scammers. Usually I hang up but last week had some fun and did "oh gosh, really? what can I do?" and then pretended to do all the keystrokes the chap wanted me to do until he asked what I was seeing on the screen. I said "oh, it says in great big letters, this is a scam!" He then harangued me for wasting his time! My view was that while I was having fun, someone else wasn't being bothered, like my 90 year old mother who gets quite distressed by this sort of thing.

Brilliant Teenie!

Got a call from "microsoft costumer support"...told me my pc is infected and needs an update. for this he wanted me to give him my bank details to "activate the full microsoft service". I told him to wait "a minute". i googled their number and found something on http://www.tellows.co.uk it says that this is a total ripp-off..
