I just tell them to do one but sometimes not as good as I should .
Ask them how they get your number !  I think they buy loads of numbers from somewhere and harass the owners .

I played along, telling the girl that I had suffered fatal injuries. She asked me why I hadn't put in a claim for personal injuries. I told her that I was unable to due to my injuries being fatal. This went on for quite some time before I suggested that she asked her supervisor what 'fatal' meant.

I turn it round on them. Also like to put them on hold and see how long they wait.

I love living where I do...we don't have landlines and if anyone rings my mobile, I tell them that I'm in South America and the call is costing them 50 quid a minute...they never call back!
