Yer, call prevention stuff is good. You can get more info from The DTI
and a google search UK on the topic.
We've been registered with some place my mum recommended (free) and we never get any telesales stuff now- we went from getting 10- 20 calls per week to none whatsoever.

I have the perfect method if they try to flog me double glazing, I just say my accommodation is rented.

One of my favourite answers is yes I am interested but I can not pay you until the year 2060 or sorry no one is here I'm a burglar.

I try to be as friendly as I can when declining, I know that there are enough people out there who go out of their way to be nasty/irritating in response to cold-calling. I appreciate that it's irritating to be called up out of the blue, but being a moron isn't being part of the solution.
