We keep on getting a phone call from a UK number. 0117 4780204 and 0161 8205290. For the 0161 number I ask where are you calling from. Reply was Liverpool. OK what is the weather like which they usually get wrong. Then I ask them about the 0161 number which is Manchester and why they say thay are in Liverpool. At this point they put the phone down.
One of the calls ask if they can ask me just two questions and they will not bother me again. I reply with, I'm in the 60 to 70 age bracket and I live in a tent. They then hang up.
Yesterday Rosemary got a call about a life assurance policy we had taken out. She put the phone on speaker and the two of us replied with stupid comments which really infuriated the caller. She completely lost it with us and came out with some lovely language.

If I don’t recognise the number I don’t answer the call

Come to think of it, if I do recognise the number, I will (occasionally) not answer the call

This happened to me once - couldn't really tell whey he said but it sounded something like "you lover sucker"

Quite an annoying habit for those who wanted to call you for genuine reasons and may have a new SIM card or who you simply don´t know.

I love getting the calls about "the car accident that wasn't your fault".
I always ask "which one?" to which I get the reply "the one that wasn't your fault".
I tell them I've had 4 accidents - they were ALL my fault!
For some strange reason, the caller magically disappears.
