Sales calls on a Sunday

and Mothering Sunday at that? Anyone else had a call from Sanderson's blinds today? Mine came right in the middle of lunch - and I wouldn't normally answer 'no caller id' calls but with Mum in hospital it might have been from there. So this guy says 'We've chosen a winner and can I just ask - if it was you what room would you want the blinds for?' Well I wasn't born yesterday so I could see where that loaded question was leading and told him his horoscope (but politely - I always think they probably don't do that job for the enjoyment of it) and sent him on his way.
Am I alone in thinking that it's totally off to cold call people on a Sunday?:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Especially when those calls come AFTER 8:30pm!

    Yeah they are terrible, I've blocked their number now as it was getting ridiculous!

  • I got the same phone call. Apparently they had also sent me some information in the post. The guy got very shirty with me when I said I didn't sign up for marketing calls & to take me off their mailing list

    Very irritating
