Me too. One from Deutsche Telekom as I had been in their shop recently. Couldn't get him off the line and all he was doing was reading a questionnaire to me. Then a couple of minutes later some girlie wanting to ask me about sport, blew that one out quicker than a kebapOriginally posted by NotAllThere View Post“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Home is ex-dir so I never get cold-call sales calls.
Had a few on the mobile though.
I usually say in my best "posh voice",
"Hello Control, are we go live ?"
..they usually stumble for a moment then launch in to their spiel.
I interrupt and say "Hello ? I don't think you are Control. How did you get this number ? It's a secure line. I'm afraid you have committed a security breach. Please stay on the line whilst we trace your call and dispatch a team".
No one has ever yet stayed on the line...Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I had some guy knock on my door today mid-afternoon, right in my doorway in my face trying to tell me I should donate £1 a week to the local kids football team to keep them off the street.

It's the only way they'll learn. Honestly this country, no where else would you get this crap. Period."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
