    You would think they would leave a message rather than leave you wondering who it was - but that would obviously be to their detriment


    The first time I received the call I was at home but asleep as I work variable hours. By the time I got up to answer the phone they had rung off.


    In my haste I rang the number back - luckily I didn't get through otherwise it would have cost a bit me ringing Tarporley!


    They got me on the third call.
    Somebody else was in on each of the days and answered on five of them. They asked if they'd like to leave a message, but the caller declined to leave one and said they'd call back.

    On Friday, the only day they didn't get to the phone, they rang back to see who'd called and quickly hung up when they realised who.
