Aargh!

Dear Marketing Survey Company,

When your call centre worker phoned the first time this evening, I said I wasn't interested in taking your survey. I do not buy anything from cold calls over the phone.

When the second one called me 20 minutes later I informed them that I had just been called, that I still wasn't interested, and that I did not want them to call me again.

When I received your third phone call within three quarters of an hour, I was a little, teeny, tiny bit annoyed. And then, when I told your operative that I had already asked twice not to be called again, she said "well, why don't you just go ahead and take the survey?".

Not bl**dy likely. Do you ever actually get any customers, or do they just buy to get rid of you? Do tell.

Azz.

Does England have a "do not call" registry? In the US, if you register your phone number on this list, it's illegal for telemarketers to call your house. It has been my saving grace- after one too many telemarketing calls at six in the morning, I'd had enough!

Yes, we have one, and we're on it. I should have remembered to refer them to it, but I was caught on the hop (dealing with sick kids) the first time, not expecting them the second time, and just SO MAD the third time. I should stick a reminder post-it on the phone, really.

You can be registered on one but it doesn't really seem to help.
