As bad as it is, if you've got 30 minutes free when they call who doesn't love stringing a tech scammer along by playing dumb for a bit. When Piyush explains why those DCOM errors in event log are super super important it brings a

The old pound isn't going anywhere? And maybe (dont kill me for this) some people need an adult in the room on occasions. Maybe (again, hold yourself back) money given by the state should be spent in supermarkets, not on disco biscuits
