Working a night shift tonight and forgot to take the phone off the hook. Just been disturbed AGAIN by the same arseholes pushing a boiler replacement scheme.
I sincerely hope these people all die slow agonizing deaths. Them and all their relatives.
No matter how often I complain they same scumbags refuse to stop harassing me.
Incidentally next on my hate list is the Telephone Preference Service. As much use as tits on a boar. |

Just say 'can I put you on hold a minute' and leave them hanging on indefinitely.
Someone I know puts her 2 and 4 year old kids on the phone and gets then talking gobbledegook to them |

Not much help as it is a pre recorded message. Have tried asking for a call back from a real person and asked for them to stop.
It is ignored. Begged and also ignored. Abused them and it still makes no difference. |

"Google for BT8600 call blocker phone. Worth the cost IMHO"
Thanks. Will look into that.
There might be a cost involved but likely to be cheaper than my preferred alternative - identify the source of the calls and plant a huge fucking bomb  |

When I say it is regularly ignored I will be more specific.
This boiler replacement company phone a minimum of twice per day and have been for at least 12 months.
They have been told we are registered with the Tps. It makes no difference. |

Why do you even have a landline phone? What's the point of them? |

"

Tend to be fairly useful where you can't get a mobile signal we find!"
Ah right, us city folk don't have that problem but I guess if you live in the sticks... |

"try registering your number with tpsonline.org.uk
unsolicited calls will become a thing of the past if you do"
I like to vent any anger on them and tell them how sad and desperate they must be to do a job like that |

Likewise but a bit pointless when you are venting your anger at an automated messages. |

It amazes me, how people know that I am old gullible and stupid.
I had this man with an asian accent, in a so called call centre phone me up claiming that he was from microsoft. And that he could detect that I had something wrong with my computer. I just laugh t at him and put the phone down. For more than over a week after, I had a automated phone call each evening at the same time every night. A man laughing and saying goodbye. |

If you are registered with the TPS then complain to BOTH the TPS and ICO. It is a very simple online procedure that only takes a couple of minutes and the offending callers DO get fined for breaching the regulations!
The exemption is survey calls who appear to be exempt from the regulations. |
