Dominos called me at 8.49 tonight for a review on my pizza?

I bet you wouldn't be complaining if the phone call had been someone calling to tell you you'd won a competition would you?

At least they're not like BT who'd call me, I'd tell them I'm not interested and ask them to remove my details, which they did. Then the whole thing would start up again a few months later....

Data Protection Act breach much, BT?

Have you tried the TPS (Telephone Preference Service, I think it is) - puts you on a list of 'no cold callers'. I did it a few years ago, and made life much more pleasant. Now I don't have a landline, so it doesn't matter so much for me - I'd give you some contact details, but I've since thrown the paperwork, but simple to set up.

Reminds me of the days when I used to leave a message on my answerphone 'Thanks for calling. Leave a brief message and if I want to talk to you, I'll call you right back. If I don't, then I won't':D I've grown upa bit since....................only a bit!!

That reminds me when I recently made a call to a customer, his answerphone message was "We're not answering the phone, so leave a short message or leave us alone." :rotfl:

Was it a nice pizza though?

I used to work in a call centre making outgoing calls until 10pm and sometimes from 8am. Lots of people I called sounded like they'd just woken up.

Nothing wrong with that, based on their hours of business - what time did you order the pizza in the first place?

Yes, I have. I recently found out that my TPS registration had expired for my landline (I wonder if the TPS already offers an option to let you know before it expires?), but it does not apply if you are a customer of a company.

I have been a BT customer, I'm now with TalkTalk (and happier with the price and service), and it was an old, settled, dormant, closed, account that was enabling them to call me.

If they call again could you tell them that they forgot the mango dip for my chicken tikka pizza.

Now your tikka the pizza

What's the main issue here? For me a call at that time is annoying because it may wake my son. If it wasn't for him then i'd prefer calls at that time rather then when I am taking the first mouth of my tea.

Once these companies have your details they'll keep bugging you and probably pass them onto other companies that they are linked with. So you may find your'e getting calls from all sorts of other business...probably telling you that you have won a "trip of a lifetime" with one little caveat - you'll have to pay them a "small deposit" to claim your prize, of course!!
