I answer "Number Withheld" because that's what my GP and the hospital use. My opinion on TPS is that the main value is that anyone who does try to sell me something must be a crook. One problem I've found is the callers who say they are "Just doing a survey". I'm working up a completely fictitious personality for them as I assume it's part of an identity theft procedure.
The first time I got the "Windows support" I let him talk me very slowly through his procedure, while I was actually reading emails. When he wanted me to enter something that would take me to a website in Russia I told him it was time to part company. I thought it was worth wasting his time to keep him away from someone who might be taken in.
Another time I had "Windows support" he got part way through and gave up when I told him he had missed out part of the script!
If I'm not in a mood to talk to them I sometimes terminate the conversation very quickly by going into a very un PC rant about Pakki sex perverts phoning women.
Does Israel want full scale war in the Middle East?
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
Should women have equal pay and opportunities?
