I hate proper physical shopping too. If I can’t find something online, apart from local food shopping, I don’t buy it. No wonder shops are closing as I think many people are the same.

I am very similar to you Mo.
Cant stand shopping however dont mind going to the supermarket.
Like you try to get as much as I can online

We too are having a spate of these calls. I answer, wait for the person to speak and sing “scam, scam, scam” vaguely similar to Monty Python’s spam chorus.

The other one I enjoy is the “have you had an accident and it’s not your fault”. Again I answer, wait for the person to ask the question and reply saying in all seriousness that the accident wasn’t my fault but I have no memory as the police said I was four times over the limit! Haven’t had many of those recently though.

It’s childish, but it cheers up a grey morning like today.

Sometimes but not very often I decide to have a bit of fun like you and try to string the caller along.
I cant remember what the code to block your outgoing number from EE us without googling it but sometimes I have had a number call but they havent left a message.
I used to love blocking my number and calling them and wait for them to answer and let them keep going hello before putting the phone down.
Then keep repeating.......most amusing.
Nowadays you quite often get a number pop up on your mobile. When I try the callback it comes up with a message saying number not recognised.

Mobile?
#31#, stops your IMEI Number, SIM Card number and phone number being sent, from the handset.

Google it he says.

We had a profitable afternoon down the club today, I didn't win, but my Good Lady did, the first line and the pot that comes with it, we came out twenty quid up.

I have tried several responses to these.
When I asked "how did you know about that" she just put me through to an expert, at which point I hung up.
Twice I have said "yes, it was terrible. I lost both legs and both arms, then they had to amputate my head". For some reason the line went dead at that point.

Quality
Maybe they concluded you weren't taking the call seriously

. I might steal that one

Definately one to try to remember

What a miserable wet windy day that turned out to be. No logging but the house is sparkly clean!

Glass of red I think.

Can, those here, who are here and those who are here, but not here, let those of us here who are here know if they are here or not.
