We do it for you
Hi, we’ve noticed that you’ve been listening
to a lot of radio and watching a lot of TV recently.
Good choice! But guess what, from now on, you
don’t have to. Our trained listeners and viewers
can do it for you. It’s simple, it’s cheap,
it’s convenient. This is how it works:
You get up in the morning, and if you’re anything
like the rest of us, your head feels heavy, you’re
dying for that coffee, you can’t bear the sound of
anything buzzing in your ear. One thing you
really don’t want is to hear radio. What we do
is send someone over to your house and we
take your radio into another room, switch it on
and listen for you. Then, when it’s time for you
to move on to your other tasks - whatever they
are - we just leave. It’s as simple and as easy
as that. Again, come evening, maybe you think
you’ve got to switch on that radio, watch that TV
sitting in the corner of your living room. No!
Not anymore. We can do it for you. Yes, round we
come, and do the job. You can go off and do
anything you like, and you have absolute peace
of mind that someone is listening to your radio and
watching your TV. And - here’s the coolest part -
we don’t tell you anything at all about what’s been
on! Imagine that! You will have no idea at all what
all that radio and TV has been going on about.
And we’re not just one-shot jonnies. This is a
24-hour service, our listeners and viewers
will be with you within minutes.
C’mon. Give us a try. You know you want to.
