Hm, after my earlir comments, perhaps I should add that I have been
registered with TPS for some years, so they should _know_ that I don't
want their calls.
FWIW, one of my other approaches is to ask them all their details at I'm
Writing This Down" speed and then tell them I'm on TPS. There's usually
a click within two seconds or a profusive appology and claim they'll
correct their list. _But_ I think one of the reasons for off-shore call
centres is to gey around TPS.
So I don't feel too bad when I have a pop at them. _Especielly_ if I
_really_ can't understand them because of their accent.
