We could do it from tomorrow.
Are you cheesed off with foreign persons cold calling you in an attempt to get you to change your existing supplier of anything to another supplier?
Yes?
Then try this.
New Telephone Greeting:
'GOOD MORNING/AFTERNOON/EVENING, WELCOME TO THE UNITED KINGDOM '
'Press '1' if you speak English.'
'Press ''2'' to disconnect until you can!

Glad to be of some humourous help. There is a fine line between sanity and insanity. I have a foot firmly planted either side of that line | ||

No. I registered with the Telephone Preference Agency when I moved in. I receive very few cold calls, perhaps one every five months or so. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||

So did I, and this morning I received a cold call from a company claiming to represet BT! Mind you, when I told them I was on the list, they very hurriedly did a backtrack and were gone in a flurry of apologies within seconds! | ||

I bought one of these - http://www.truecall.co.uk/ Its fantastic and I haven't had any calls from Companies/overseas etc since I got it. It's a bit expensive but well worth it. You can also go online and check how many calls tried to get through and I have had loads.

Yes, those are brilliant. |
And I take great pleasure in pointing out to them that they're breaking the law when they do!
