Junk call diary, might be useful for caller ID users.

I've just bought a phone with caller ID and caller records. Every day I find some random marketing number in the missed calls list. I google search them and nothing comes up.

This evening I had a call from some random life insurance company; they had been given my number by the master of cross-selling, Halifax.

Anyway, if everytime we received a marketing call we logged the number and company in a MSE thread, it could be a usefull resoruce for those with unaccounted caller id records.

Well, I'll keep a junk phone call diary anyway.
Tonight 0845 130386 and it was a fun conversation with a woman from space kitchens. The quality of their database might be a bit rubbish because I had to tell her my "new" surname. After a pleasant few minutes it turned out that if I had a kitchen that was older than 5 years then Space Kitchens were offering me a wonderful feature kitchen for their magazine, all at discounted prices, and there was a £60K budget. Yeah, right.
The main salesman phoned me back 5 minutes later. Meanwhile I did a quick google search

I read from the BBC watchdog site and then explained how I thought their operation ran. All very pleasantly. The chap was very reasonable, it felt as if he agreed with what I thought anyway. I explained that someone could come for a 4 hour demo round my house if they wanted to, but I'd probably treat it as cheap entertainment, and no sale would result.

He amicably declined the offer.

but the problem i have is that all the numbers come up either witheld or "INternat"

so could never post the number
