Not just me then .... great sport eh!! ... can't see how these companies survive really the general public in the UK have become pretty switched on to these scams for some years now surely people falling for them are now in the minority ???

You haven't met my sister in law, thick isn't the word, I hope that's not predjudice

Try this:
"Do you have an account with us?"
no
"Would you like to open an account with us? It will only take a few minutes, and I just need your personal details"
no
"Well if you don't have an account with us and don't want to open an account, why are you ringing?"

A few years ago I had a run of cold calls from a particular double glazing company, all of which I was resoundingly rude to until I asked one caller if they did conservatories which of course they did and she proceeded to give me all sorts of details of the wonderful conservatories that they offered. After a bit of stringing along I agreed that they should send me some details in the post prior to a visit to assess my requirements.
In fairness to the girl on the other end of the line she reacted well to the start of the first line of my address; "Top Flat..." and then said she would take my number off of their list. No more calls from that company. Result.

I guess she doesn't read TM then.

Before we went T/Preference I used to note down every call from double glazing companies - date and time. After a while I would read back every call over the previous couple of years from that company and suggest that since they had rung me x times on these dates and never got anywhere, why were they persisting?
Sometimes being anal can be quite effective.

Everest never give up though.

Tell them you only rent often works.....

Nice one Calum!

( Very effective against all sorts of PPI, Injury claims, )

Came back from Bulgaria yesterday - a poor country so terrible roads etc, but I was still shocked by this on the way back to the hotel.

At night it's pitch black, so after few drinks , if you forget about it, step off the kerb and whoops!, down seven foot.

Imagine the claims potential over here?

Definitely avoid that when you go to Bulgaria.

It looks like a tourist trap to me.
