Brilliant! Whilst I understand this is their job, I do wish they'd listen to what you tell them.
My dad is an engineer in the Navy so goes away to sea for long periods of time. We'll get a call asking for him : 'no sorry he's at work' 'can you tell me when he will be home?' 'Yeah, around 8 weeks time, he's away at sea'. After a few minutes silence to take this in they hang up. This happens every night for about a week before they give up and believe us!

My Dad is a tour guide, and he starts selling them Beatles coach tours and visits to Port Sunlight. They are just as fast to hang up as they are to dial............ Loving your style Flee! Excellent. My dad once tried to sell them some pedigree sheep, also had them putting the phone down quick. Louise, your Dad has stolen my idea!  , (please refer to an earlier psot I posted  Tell me does he have difficulty with getting out sheep shearing correctly??  I could try it with ponies! Brainwave! there are still 8 sitting in the fields munching grass.  |

We get plagued with cold calls, I normally end up asking them 'Is your TV licence up to date?' when they ask why I tell them it will save me time if I have their name address and postcode so I can check their licence is up to date and give them a call at home one evening............normally after that the phone goes dead....................not as effective or as funny as some suggestions on here its definitely given me some ideas!
