They are just as pretty as you. And its sucha beautiful way of giving vent to your vexed feelings , and making them go with such lovely flowers. I read the post, and I could make out, how troublesome and irritating it would be. But sorry, it sounded more of a hilarious one to me , perhaps cause, we don't have anything of such sort here. Don't worry. Just share it with us. Its always so nice to read you and about your culture. :) Te flowers, they look so fresh.

Thankfully, I have now found a hairdresser's that is reasonably priced and they never try to sell you anything. The fact that all of the hairdressers there are Japanese or Korean with limited English may have something to do with it but that doesn't bother me - I get a decent haircut at a reasonable price - that's all I'm looking for! I have hung up many times on salespeople who won't take 'no' for an answer...and some of them even ring back! I read somewhere that the response rate for telemarketing is between 2% and 5% and it's sad to think that many of these people may be in vulnerable groups. I love your flower photos - they brighten up your blog very nicely!
