Racism/general sillyness/whatever you feel inclined to call it aside (and before anyone accuses me of it, no I'm not disregarding racism as "general sillyness" and I understand racism a serious matter, I just don't wish to be dragged into the debate whether OP was racist or not and who to), the story was quite funny.
I've probably posted the story here a few times, but my dad had a phonecall on our landline to see if we wanted to purchase home insurance (£200 payment over the phone during an unsolicited call? Why not!). He told whoever was on the other end that he lived in a tent.

OP also dismissed cheery English people too.
Now, I'm not at all accusing the OP of being racist - as I've already said, I found his story highly amusing - but, shouldn't that have been in your 'racism' accusation too? Seen as the OP is Scottish/lives in Scotland? Or is it just the Pakistani and Indian callers racism applies to nowadays?
Do you realise post 2 has the same username as you?never chew the umbilical cord!!0 -

really a waste of time when all you have to do is put the phone down, but, if you get a kick out of it ,,,,,,,,0 -
Our local hospital appointment computer has a similar call method, I put the phone down a couple of times before I realised who it was.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0
