Very few people ring me on my landline, just a few who presumably have the number stored from years ago, so when it rings it’s invariably a cold call..I used to have a call monitoring service but I don’t quite know what has happened to that and unless a known name flashes up when it rings I’m tempted to ignore.
BUT like most people of my generation I was brought up to answer it, so, I run out of the shower, or run round the other side of the bed, or in from the garden, play hunt the handset etc and it’s yet another “energy adviser” or double glazing or patio doors or whatever.
Unlike some people I either hang up or say No I’m not interested, thank you and hang up, as I’m not interested in scoring points off Microsoft man , but this morning was ridiculous- it was 7.35! A time reserved, in our family, for urgent phone calls.
Just rude.
OK I could just ignore it or should I give in and have the landline removed? Seems a bit drastic but this morning I could have chucked it into next week!
