That's an interesting story - in the information war, information is power. Why not go as a couple and play the salesman. When a cold call comes through on your phone trying to sell you double glazing, why not say "hell, yeah! can you do all 35 windows?" ... I've played the credit card system and now have somewhere in excess of a seriously silly figure at my disposal if I want it. Given a terminal disease, I'll take it ... In my name alone! Information is power - don't fob off people trying to sell you something ... They're the ones profiling you (mostly for other companies) ... Tell them what you want them to hear! Tell them something you want one of your favourite companies to hear ...
