    nid that is so helpful I am going to print this off and stick it beside my phone I have not had any phone pests for ages now and funny enough no letters for about a fortnight. however I have had a familiar number beginning with 0113... rang me just now and they said they were from a gas efficiency company. I said i dont talk to strangers on my phone and could they remove my number from their data base. They got a bit upity and said it cant be done so i quoted your previous statement quoting the data protection sec 7 demanding they did so and hung up. I was just about to get the number from 1471 to identify them when a bloomin neighbour rang me so i lost it grrr.

    0113 is the code for Leeds, not much use I know:o

    Hiya

    British gas is based in Leeds (0113) - could well be them you know, or staywarm etc etc - don't worry, just a normal sales pitch me thinks :D:D
