    Is your name on mugs list?

    It could be -

    Wine investors warned of 'mugs list' - Telegraph

    Think got cold called by them on several occasions. Did not fall for it. A bit of a Google should have warned anyone off, think the Times covered it.

    Same with several other things I've been contacted about, so many are recent setups with no track record, have directors who have been associated with previous failed ventures etc. Some just don't make basic sense. If a company can make a guaranteed fortune with zero risk, from storage pods for example, why do they need to sell them to the public?

      Because it's only guaranteed (to the creators of those schemes) if they can find mugs to put money into it.

        I thought this was a thread about the electoral roll.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          Indeed no such thing as a free lunch - therefore anything which offers one is just a lie.

            I got free dinner for two (and free beer) one lunch time at Waggamma this year, so there can be such a thing as a free lunch if you take it literally
            Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

            No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                Nope they opened a new store in Milton Keynes, was on their Facebook list and got an invite for a free meal...and it wasn't a scam they just wanted to trial their new store on unsuspecting mugs

                Food was nice though
