"Wasting Stamps" - the Ebook
When I was newly single - I found myself with a lot of time on my hands. Time, I won't lie, that I struggled to fill if I wasn't working or writing a new horror story of some description. That is, at least, until I woke up one day and had a brainwave - whilst brushing my teeth - that it would be a good idea to email Lynx and ask them if I was using their product incorrectly because I wasn't appearing to be getting the Lynx effect that was clearly available from the adverts in magazines and on the telly.
I asked them whether I was using the can from the wrong angle, wrong hand...Literally - every bizarre combination I could dream up, I put in the letter. I then asked them for detailed instructions to be sent or, at the very least, money for a prostitute. They actually gave me a voucher (£2.00 I think). Not sure which prostitutes they use but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't have been enough. Anyway, as detailed in the ebook, I scanned the voucher into my computer and emailed it back to them - insulted that they thought I was cheap enough to 'pay off' like that.
I posted my letter to Facebook and it had such a reaction I couldn't help but send more out.
I sent letters to Pet Food companies, The Queen, The Prime Minister, Condom companies, British Gas, Pizza companies, sweet companies (got loads of freebies) and I compiled them all - along with the replies I received - for my book.
Other than the Lynx one - I think my favourite back and fourth was with the Council over what bin I should put my dead cat in. I won't tell you how that ended - if you want to know, you can buy the ebook from Amazon! It's not even expensive! Look:
Amazon.com link for book.
Amazon.co.uk link for book.
See - not exactly a lot of money for the amount of laughs you'll find within the electronic pages. Hell, there are even pictures too and some rather fun replies to spamming companies! Go on, give it a go - after all, if you like what you find on this blog - you'll like what you find in the ebook. I promise.
Oh and speaking of this blog - be sure to keep coming back weekly! You can 'follow' it for ease or even subscribe so you get an email when the weekly updates come in!
