If you have the TV on and you get an annoying phone call just say ' Hold on a moment please' then put the phone near the TV and let them listen to Neighbours for 10 minutes !!!

Have just read through all these and haven't laughed so much in ages. Now if I can just remember them when the phone rings.....

My FIL saw an advert for Churchill guaranteeing to be cheaper than the current insurance provider - he rang them up - gave them all the details and they came up with their quote - great he says thats much cheaper than what I am paying now - wonderful says the salesperson - so will you be wanting to purchase this insurance - of course he says - we will need to take all your details down and arrange a DD for payment - no need he says - just alter my payments accordingly - I'm already with you

And for those who are in council housing who want to have fun with the condescending peeps that always ask for the homeowner - I say they aren't here right now but heres an alternative contact number and give them the local council's number

Hubby's favourite with the double glazing /conservatory calls is to go through all the details, say great yes we would love a new whatever it is they are offering - makes all the arrangements for a visit - then says now should we have any problems with the job do we need to contact you direct or the council as obviously as it is their house they will be the ones you are sending the bill to

ok, this is what I did today (don't even ask why I said what I said, it just came out of my mouth!)

Them: Hello, Mrs Keren29 (said garbled and wrong and obviously indian call centre)
Me: Hello, who's calling?
Them: Mrs Keren29
Me:Who's calling?
Them: Mrs Keren29? I am xx from Global Finances loans
Me: Well, this is a prison
Them: oh, ok, well are you the home owner?
Me: of the prison?
Them: Yes, we are a worldwide lender
Me: This is a prison
Them: oh, ok, do you have any outstanding finance?
Me: Does this prison have any outstanding finance? You want to lend a jail money?
Them: Yes we would like to help

I gave up at that point.......

We had an old lady call here the other day - I politely told her she had the wrong number and she had a right go at me asking me why I answered the phone if I knew it was a wrong number ??????

Still trying to figure that one out !!!

I had an old woman phone me the other day. I answered and she said "Doris?"

Anyone who has spoken to me on the phone is exceedingly unlikely to mistake me for any Doris... :rolleyes:
