    Don't answer the phone to strangers.

    Block the number.

    Ah, I didn't realise you are making a job of not answering the phone when it rings. Do you stare at it too? :D

    Seriously, get one of those Panasonic phones that either literally block a number (they get an engaged tone) or blocks all 'ringing' if you like except for people you wish to hear from -the others can leave a message (unless they are blocked).

    ...but you could just this little eensy tweensy once, try picking the phone up and asking them??

    That's the sort of lateral and intelligent thinking that put the Great in Great Britain.

    Let's not bring common sense into it! :money:
