'Nuisance' call wanted!

Dear All,

I know that this might sound 'Ridilculous' but I actually WANT a 'Nuisance' call- of the 'About Your Accident' type.... mainly because I have the PERFECT answer.

When the Voice says "We Are Calling About Your 'Accident'" just reply "How Did You Know?.... It's 'Running' All Down my Leg- Please Don't Tell My Mum!" A little 'mock' crying/ sobbing can also 'help' here.

After all, it is the 'Least' that I can do.... after 'They' have spent All That Time 'Targeting' me!

😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

In Scotland you can have 'Floating Freeholds', I believe. Were you can be your own Landlord, in a block of Rented flats..... So why not a Floating Conservatory?

The best thing I ever bought was the BT Call Blocker,just press one button and the phone will never even ring again with the unwanted numbers.Witheld? in that case you need to say who you are and press hash.Simple!About £35 inc answerphone and it is cordless.

I had a scam call the other day about life insurance and I hung the phone up on them!

I have one that regularly calls from Manchester for a woman I've never heard of about a catalogue debt she apparently owes.

As it is a recorded announcement, there is no way I can get to speak to anyone without pressing buttons. As that will no doubt take me to a Premium Line, I ain't goin' there! I just list it, then immediately delete it.

I have looked up the number on Who called me, and it is definitely a scam number, which also calls with Ambulance chasers, as well as other scam companies.

As I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service on all my phones, it makes me cross, because I cannot find anyway to report it back to Telephone Preference.

Cheers, Midori

You could try calling the BT Fraud Number 0800-661441, if they can't 'Help' they may, very well, know who can. Give them a 'Call' it's Free anyway.

My dad had a well known double glazing company of the day pester him into having new windows. This went on for about 3-4 weeks. The rep came round , measured up and then started on about the cost and how would he like to pay . My dad gave him the phone number of the council and said ask them it's their house .

I think the best way to deal with unsolicited calls is to let them talk until they get bored and ring off - if you ring off, they just move on to the next potential victim.

Years ago, way back in the 1980's, my Father worked for a, fairly large, company in Central London. One day someone called to Speak to him..... He kept them 'waiting', for about forty minutes.... afterwards, he said 'you have 'wasted' my time.... so I have wasted Yours!😄

My Gran had a Police Whistle for heavy breathers, just used to blow it down the 'phone at them, said it was their fault if they went deaf.

"Say Again Dear-y, I Didn't quite HEAR you"..... What a Brilliant Idea Sorrel.

We always taught, the children- not my own unfortunately- to 'Kick Where It Hurt', if anyone ever 'Approached' them. (This actually Happened, to Terry's Daughter- someone in a car. Thankfully she ran off and Told Dad.)

How are you Sorrel, I seem to have Lost Touch with you recently.... Clearly MY Fault- a hundred Lines "Do not lose Touch, with Sorrel". Seriously though 'Talk' to you soon.

Very best wishes

Gran also said, it was a shame hats had gone out of fashion, if you were sitting next to a young man in the cinema, and he put his hand on your knee, you removed the hatpin from your hat, and impaled his hand with it!! She was a mine of useful information. I am always around, but when having bad times with innards, tend to be online over night, rather than in the day.

I watched a lady on mu Facebook feed take a pan and metal spoon and place over phone and bang on it. She never got another call like that again.

I often get the “we understand you’ve been in an accident that wasn’t your fault” calls and my responses vary between,

‘Wow, which one? ‘, Said in a very excited voice

Shouting to a non existent person in the next room, ‘I told you it wasn’t my fault’

And finally, ‘no, it was my fault, it’s always my fault.’
