Quite frankly the AA are beginning to annoy me.
Cold calling is bad enough but cold calling when you are already with a company seems in some ways to be worse because you feel you are being deliberately targeted rather than being a random entity. We have one of our two car insurances with the AA. A couple of weeks ago they contacted us and tried to sell us additional car insurance to cover the eventualities of being hit by an uninsured driver. We declined. Today they tried to flog us home insurance. I'm quite happy with the deal we already have with another company. The AA offered to pay for our switching to them and "could they help us". At that point I put the phone down on the grounds that 1/ I was in the middle of doing something and 2/ I had no intention of trying to switch with all the hassle that would bring.
I can only assume that the AA is getting desperate. These continued calls will do nothing to endear them to me. however.
Mentioned last week how talented British singer songwriter Ana Silvera is. After seeing her in Norwich last week I wrote a concert review for the Archant Iwitness24 Norfolk web site. Received a really nice e-mail from Ana herself thanking me for the kind words. I always think it's nice when an artist generally acknowledges the support they receive.
Was delighted at the weekend to find that writer RJ Ellory is on his way to Norwich for a personal appearance at Waterstones. I have been in regular contact with Roger over the past few years after hugely enjoying his early novels. He is a most gracious man and I am looking forward to meeting him in the flesh. The previous evening best selling author Robert Goddard is appearing in Norwich as well. Two nice events.
