From 'The Times' Friday January 21, page 28:

Sex-line cheat

Men who rang a £1-a-minute sex line to talk to Filipinas grew wary when the girls used slang such as "Ey-up" and "Me Duck" and alerted Trading Standards. Andrew Vanderahe, 41, who ran the line was fined £65 by Nottingham magistrates and told to pay £1,000 costs for describing 40 Nottingham women as Filipinas.

I'm quite impressed that someone would have the courage to file a complaint that they were cheated in their sex chat!

Why not? They were Englishmen. Why shouldn't they expect value for money?

We exported most of our Puritans to the Americas.

Y'all want a few of them back?

Please?

Many currently work in the D.C. area.

They went to a colony.

Why not move to another one?

South Georgia has some space. It doesn't have much else going for it. The Falkland Islands are sub-tropical by comparison.

Anybody in the USA remember the Psychic Hot-Line that advertised on late-night cable? The proprietor was fined for misleading advertising after some of her customers complained.

Sure, fraud can be a bad thing. But if there must be fraud, it would be nice if the victims could be limited to a couple of groups: men who want their phone-sex partners vulnerable and probably underaged, like the girls who so famously inhabit whorehouses in the Philipines; and people who call TV psychics expecting to learn the future.

Well, we will know in a few more hours: by the way, I'm predicting tomorrow will be sunny in Florida.
