  I'm fed up of getting emails purportedly from Martin Lewis but the email address is [email protected]. Anyone else had them?

  This one is clever.  If you get a parcel delivered and someone asks for it back, don’t part with get onto the seller straight away.

  I got a call from someone with an Indian accent. Just about to put then phone down when I realised it was from the GP surgery.  You've got to feel sorry for Asian chaps just trying to do a job too. 

  In London. Keen but lazy.
