I answer withheld number calls as doctors and council departments (especially the libraries) withhold and yesterday, I answered one , where a man started the usual waffle that callers use before trying to sell a buildings service .


I had had two annoying calls already, so was rather short, saying that I didn't want any work done ,but would call if and when I did.
He then shouted 'Do you know who I am ?' and , as I didn't reply, repeated twice getting louder each time.


Deciding to treat rudeness with like I pressed the cut off button,then realised that I could have asked him how I could know who he was if his number was withheld.


Then I realised that I may have offended Prince Andrew.....who is well know for this rant at a security guard who asked for his pass while in the grounds of Buckingham Palace.


I was lucky, but if someone else upsets him, they may be due a holiday in The Tower.

Why was Prince Andrew trying to sell you building services?

Prince Andrew is on a building course in case Charles becomes king and then he's got a second job to fall back on.

I had a similar problem with the Duke of Kent trying to sell me cavity wall insulation.

Just wait until Philip turns up to unblock the drains. He has plenty of spare time at the moment and looking for a hobby.:D

I wasn't clear,as he didn't actually offer to sell anything because I didn't give him chance.


I have amended my post by adding 'where a man started the usual waffle that callers use before trying to sell a buildings service .'


He just so reminded me of the news item about Prince Andrew's rant at the security guard.

My aunt put the phone down on the lady from the day care centre. With my aunt's permission, I'd asked for a day centre place and the woman was ringing to arrange it.
