Those cold calls are classics. I got one today, woke me up at 11.20 after a night shift, would switch it off but I'm on call. I could do with a script for those calls, probably along the lines of "We don't use phones, this is just for emergencies, Do you have an emergency?" would do. I could do with ringing some of these a*s*s up at 3.30 am and ask them if they would like my services :-) Lee D >>>>> "Lee" == Lee D <newsgroupNOSPAM@NOSPAMlrproject.com> writes: Lee> I could do with a script for those calls, probably along the Lee> lines of "We don't use phones, this is just for emergencies, Lee> Do you have an emergency?" would do. http://www.xs4all.nl/~egbg/counterscript.html might help.

I sorted out the fax callers many moons back. I came into the shop in the morning to find the 8' length of fax on the floor. I was livid so i taped it into a loop, dialled their number and pressed send watching it go on and on and ariston. Best £3 i ever spent on a call.
