--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---I still keep sticking the 'phone in with the parrott.

"hello"

"hello"

"ticklle, tickllllle, he he he"

"want a nut"

"hello, hellooooo"

"ace of spades, Ace of spades"


"are you being a bu***r?"


etc etc

So far she's bought a conservatory and a holiday in paraguay.  Not that stupid then.

Range Rover Red:
I signed up to TPS a couple of years ago and noticed the improvement immediately.  I was getting virtually non-stop cold calls, mostly just after 6pm while I was trying to have my tea, and I got to a point where when they said "Is that Mrs S___" - I wasn't married then - I used to say "No, I'm the babysitter (no kids)/dog sitter/cleaner/builder" but it was still disruptive.  Just the occasional computer generated one these days but when you don't talk to them they get upset and hang up on you :?

Junk mail
The best solution I have seen
Get one reply paid envolope from an insurance co etc, send them the local chinese and pizza menu from the frre papers, or beter still post them your old batterys, an Argos catalogue etc, they pay the postage keeps the post man in a job etc.
I did register cant think who with now and I still get the odd sales call to my mobile, so I say I am very interested then hang on a min Ive left the bath running and just leave them there.
Funnily enough the sales call I wanted I got (from Land Rover) they never followed it up, must not want the business.

I once got a guy selling me a mobile phone to believe that due to my religious beliefs I didnt agree with telephones. In fact Id never had a telephone.

(I was talking to him on the phone at this point!!!)

Wether he just thought I was a bit crazy I dont know, but I find the sales calls a good way to unwind at the end of the day. You can have so much fun with them.

DaveS:
Thanks for that just registered for MPS on line.
Am ex-directory so get very few unwanted calls.
