You know, I'm a fairly easy-going person. If someone phones and tells me they aren't selling anything, I believe them. If they ask if I can answer a few questions I usually say yes.

But is there any point in asking questions if you aren't going to listen to the answers? I couldn't even get him to accept my name; he had me down as P. Kennedy, therefore I couldn't be saying "David", I must be saying "Peter", even when I spelt it out for him. When he kept asking me to confirm I had £5,000 debt, while I was practically shouting down the phone "No! I have no debts!" I just had to hang up.

Edit: Come to think of it, I'm sure Mum's signed us up for something which means we're not supposed to get calls like that.

I'd buy one.

Mum's looking into getting caller id. The problem with that is that her work number is automatically withheld, so I wouldn't be able to assume a withheld number is one I don't want to talk to...

Does the Scottish phone system allow for overriding of Caller ID blocks by using a prefix when dialling, or for services like the American TrapCall?
