Default cost saving for mad hatters

I have occasional conversations with a woman who has moved house three
times because of radio waves entering her brain at each location and
making her ill. She has metallic mesh over all the windows. Her latest
house had a redundant VHF FM aerial with no downlead which she spotted
and decided was the reason she felt ill whenever she went near the TV
set. The FM aerial was removed and the symptoms she felt were greatly
reduced. She has bought a variety of RF meters (mostly from the USA)
which give 'confusing' results. Last year her dog developed a small
cancerous lump which was, she felt sure, caused by the cellphone tower
that she could see from the bedroom window.

Today I made a discovery that I think will help her and other sufferers.
In Range I found a roll of aluminium cooking foil. It was 75m long by
450mm wide, and was the thick stuff that is quite strong. The price was
£6.79, which is 9p per metre. It was labelled 'catering quality'. At
home I discovered that this product is exactly the same as a product
branded 'Bacofoil, which is sold in 6.5m rolls ('5m plus 1.5m 'free'')
at £2.49. That's 38p per metre. When I say 'exactly the same' the two
products are made in the same factory and have the same reference number
on the little tag that keeps the roll from unrolling. The thickness
appears to be exactly the same. The only difference is, the Bacofoil
branded roll has a faint criss-cross pattern embossed on it. How this
makes it a better product I don't know.

The woman who rings me from time to time will be delighted with this
news, since she uses a massive amount of cooking foil, not least to wrap
around her head and line her bra. The dog's basket apparently also looks
very swish with its silver paper covering.

Another failure of Care in the Community. At least she's apparently
rich enough to be ****ing nutcase.

Okay, so where do we get this cheap foil from ?

CostCo?

21 Jun '11 Foil 200m x 30cm £11.46 inc VAT

60 sq m or 19.1p/sq m (but note the date)

Cling film is also cheap:

9 Jul '12 Cling Film 400m x 34.5cm £3.69 inc VAT

These are "catering quality" and both are heavier duty than normal
supermarket foil and film.

Look at it as a "sales opportunity" to the desperate like Russ Andrews
does..


Buy these in and sell them to her at a 200% mark-up...

Hmm, wellits much the same for IPA. If you buy it for tape path cleaning
nowadays, its very expensive in little plastic bottles, but if you buy a big
can from cpc, its very much cheaper.

I suppose I should comment about this persons radio wave issue, but really
its hard to be sure if she is completely hat stand or just misguided.

Have you explained the inverse su quare law to her?

I've explained it several times. I've explained it in the context a
cellphone base 200m away versus a cellphone clamped to one's lughole.
Also in other contexts. It's a waste of time. There's no comprehension
whatsoever, plus an element of, "You might say that but...
"...many things are unknown to science."
"...I have to go on my own experience, not on theory."
"... etc."

Yet she's not stupid. It's as if the parts of her brain concerned with
logical deduction and evidence are missing."

Tongue in cheek Maybe we should introduce her to Harry, then. They'd
have a lot in common.
