Phone call.. Hello sir we're conducting a survey.

[scooterscot]

What the heck is it with these people? I've had 2 calls in the last couple of days..

"Sir, we're conducting a survey about the credit crunch"

"Oh, what's that"

"Well basically we're surveying how people are effected by the economic changes I'm sure you're aware of"

"Oh, I'm not affected one bit"

"Sir do you have a mortgage?"

"What's a mortgage?"

He got angry with me in the end and hung up..

It's the only way they'll learn. Honestly this country, no where else would you get this crap. Period.

I always say.

"How much are you paying for my time".

They say "Nothing".

I say "Is it a survey for charity?"

They say "No".

I say, "Goodbye".

GOOD I thought I was the only one!

Similar kind of call - I just said I dont have a Mortgage as I have an issue where I cant spend it fast enough as Ive got too much

Smug twat got confused - then asked if I had anyone who was suffering in the Crunch - to which I told him I only know rich people.

It was clear they were a debt management company or trying to sell me some kind of a payment restructure service.

Got a call last night at about 8:30pm. It didn't start well, as when I answered the phone the caller wasn't paying attention. Then he said "Guten Abend, Herr There, ich representiert Talk Talk..." Then I hung up. It's not just in the UK.
