Why is it that every night I get a phone call just when I am sitting down to eat my tea, not from my family or my friends but from someone hoping to sell me double glazing, trying to get me to sign up for their broadband service or something else I don’t really want?
Some of these callers are really quite aggressive too and don’t like letting you go, even though you have just explained that your spaghetti is going cold!
I have registered my phone number with the Telephone Preference Service on 0845 070 0707 (or www.tpsonline.org.uk) but what I did not consider was that I need to re-register if the calls are starting to come through again because each time I sign up to get a new catalogue or credit card, my name ends up back on the lists – unless I remember to look for the box to tick saying I do not want these nuisance calls!
I can enjoy my tea in peace again now.
