I got sent home early from work as I had lost my voice, I had just got in the door when the phone rang. I only answered it because I thought it might be the office. |

Hope your feeling better soon Maryanna. I have answered these types of calls before. When they ask if I am the home owner I usually say that I am the childminder or cleaner, it usually stops them in their tracks and not really a fib, ;-) |

This is a new tactic to get around the cold call selling, which they can be fined for now I believe. |

I normally like to wind them up and spin a yarn , like the chap who informed me there was a problem with Windows and I started banging on about double glazing and my computer being in front of a big window. |

I wound one up the other day when they rang asking if I had had a car accident in the last 3 years for which I hadn't received compensation. |

I had a phone call asking me in a well rehearsed spiel if I would be interested in solar panels for our house. I said we already had the panels - there was silence then he went through the whole spiel again :-S |

I had quite a pleasant conversation with a young man re solar heating as we've researched the idea and rejected it. |
