Yes. 2 for 1 on curries etc

No need to go on a world tour though. I just accidentally swap the order of some of the digits...

I've had 2 for 1 curry offer at Omar's. If anyone fancies going I can let them have my offer. No idea how they got my details though. 2 for 1 at Betty's is more my thing.

They must be using my personal info from the Bulls system. I kind of expect to get marketing emails (although I always request not to) but absolutely hate receiving marketing texts sent to my mobile.

This was the latest one. Pretty sure there's a connection to Omar Kahn's after getting texts from them also:

"Hussain's (formerly Street Buffet) is gaining a reputation for serving high quality Asian cuisine at an affordable price. Sister branch at Lindley Hudds."

This was my reply. Assumed we were just exchanging facts:

"The pizza take-away down the end of our road have an offer on. Buy any 2 x 11" pizzas and receive a free garlic bread. Very nice too."

You'll wait long for that. Although I guess its too much to expect them to let Nouveau-Olicanans into the Box Tree, so I guess I can understand why you will live in hope of a freebie at Bettys. Although Lishmans have just started doing takeaway food, so they might be able to put you on a bit until your application to join the Bettys queue is considered.

I must admit I've not progressed beyond looking at the Box Tree menu on the outside & shaking my head in disbelief while laughing manically. The competition from the new Wetherspoons round the corner might drive the cost of starters to below a tenner though.

Yes I am getting e-shoots from Omars - but this is the modern world and you can click unsubscribe. I can cope with meal deals much better than those wretched PPI cold calls.

Unsubscribe from what? I didn't subscribe to anything. I'm guessing you're referring to emails? Its the text messages that are winding me up.

Not had any from the Bulls or related companies.

To be honest the only person/company I get texts from is O2; top up before the end of the month and you'll receive 25 years worth of free texts - which you have to use up over the week-end.

At the end of the message is there not an option to text 'STOP' to a certain number?

No, just a standard text. Ryan Whitcut, GM at the Bull's says they don't use or pass on personal information. I'm no Sherlock Holmes but even I can see where Omar Kahn's restaurant might have got my mobile number from. For the record, I've never been in there so I haven't given them It.
