    I don't know if anyone has had any "Election Canvassing" by phone, leading up to the elections?  I got a call from a "no caller ID", stating that he was calling on behalf of the Conservative Party and asked me if I would be voting later (this was yesterday morning).  I just said that I was busy at work and he went away then.  

    Seems they are resorting to phones now, as they can't knock on peoples' doors. 

    At the risk of being thrown out of MSE, I have to say I would've preferred that to be from a scammer than genuine  >:)

    While I'm here, I think I should add that since we got the BT call blocker phone, we haven't had one scam phonecall - at least none that I know about, which is what counts.

    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    As a change from the usual BT ones they tried being from Virgin Broadband this morning  - (surprising given the smaller customer base and the geographical restrictions that come with Virgin).

    I always brightly answer with ,'ah good morning, Please tell me where you obtained my details.'
    Every single one has hung up so far and few phone back.
