NUALA MARRIES! |
The recent marriage of Tammy to Dial-a-Cab Board member Keith Cain seems to have set a trend within Dial-a-Cab, because now it's the turn of Nuala Glavin in Driver Services to marry Mark Bodle (pronounced Bow-dell) on the exotic Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. Speaking to Call Sign, an excited
Nuala told us: "I've known Mark for about a year or more and

I’VE WON £1MILLION WITH A FREEBIE CASH CARD! Er, sorry, but you haven’t…! |
![]() Call Sign recently received a phone call from a Dial-a-Cab driver who told us that he had just scratched a freebie cash card in the Daily Mirror and thought that he was in line for a major prize, with the top one being £1million. Also on offer were prizes ranging from £100,000 down to a fortnight in Italy.He believed he had a big win because going by his previous experiences with freebie scratch cards, he knew everyone would win by scratching off and always finding two identical signs, but usually to win the worst prize advertised – often a really cheap digital camera. The catch is that you have to make a five-minute premium rate call at £1.50 per minute and then pay an insurance premium to have the camera posted! But on this occasion, he had by-passed that group of prizes by getting three identical signs and that meant that the worst prize he could win would be a two week holiday in Italy, but that he was also in line for a crack at the £1million pay-out. He wanted his name to go into Call Sign so that everyone could cheer him on in case he got close to the million. We went straight out and bought 6 copies of that day’s Daily Mirror just to make sure that this driver’s card was indeed a rarity. Sadly we had to inform him that every one of the six cards had three identical signs and that once again, this was nothing short of a scheme to get callers to spend £7.50 on a phone call. We didn’t investigate further, but feel reasonably certain that he would win the Italian trip, which he would then probably find was a sales pitch to get him to buy an apartment over there. We also called him back and he agreed that we should publish his story as a warning to other drivers, but he asked that we withhold his name – not because he didn’t want other drivers to laugh, but he just didn’t want his wife to know as she had already told him not to bother! |
