I must get at least one call every 2 days usually from one of our Indian
friends, am I alone? There must be dozens of these *******s going
through the electoral roll and I haven't yet found the best reply.
Usually you can hear noise in the background so I've tried slamming the
phone down before they can be bothered to speak. I've tried acting
deaf/not understanding, keeping them there for ages. Asking where they
got my number, asking what is their number. When you tell'em to
effectively ****-off they carry on talking as though reading from a
card. It's ok when you can recognise the voice, you just say 'oh no, not
you again' and put the phone down.
How do you folks handle these bods? There must be a lot of cash to be
made in this insulation game.

Which works not at all for some callers (mainly international).
