My mate invited a conservatory company round to do a design for him.
He just forgot to tell them he lived in a top-floor flat

Try living in tuttowers.

Double glazing, designer kitchen, change mortgage, mobile phone deal, stone cladding, life insurance, car insurance, house insurance, contents insurance, Russian wife etc..............

And virtually everyone is calling from a call centre in Mumbai (Bombay), Delhi or Calcutta.

If you register Telephone Preference Service it makes it illegal for anyone to cold call you. We went from about 4 calls a day to amybe 1 a month.

I once got three double glazing companies all to arrive at my door at the same time, pity for them I was out

House was only six months old and had double glazing anyway.

I registered with the telephone preference service years ago and rarely get any calls. If I do I just wind them up. If you register through BT Privacy at Home you get registered with Telephone Privacy Service and also FREE Caller Display. I reregistered just to get the Free caller display
