Dunno. Probably Gordon Brown.

Mark does it to me. Doesn't matter if you're in the bath, on the loo:? or washing up with your hands elbow deep in suds. He always gives me the phone.

 

As for cold calling, I'm on tps so don't get many now. Used to have wicked moments tho...Apparently I sound like a small child on the phone, so when they (invariably) asked to speak to my parents without finding out who I was, I would tell them no and say I didn't know where they were( I know, very bad of me). Or say okay and walk off leaving the phone on the table in a typical child way, or give them my father's long distance phone number:twisted:

then for any future telesales calls, if you log time date caller etc and send a report in they are subject to a fine of up to £5000. (Unfortunately you don't get the money).

 

Brilliant. I hadn't heard of this at all. I urge EVERYONE to register, and convince these idiots to stop trying to sell us guff over the phone.

or you could print this out and keep it next to the phone.

 

I actually tried it once, the poor fella (calling from call centre in india) got so confused he hung up!
