I get quite a few calls from debt collection agencies, cold calling trying to locate persons with the same 'family' name as myself , the latest calls have been for someone called Tom ***** , the usual patter is if Tom ***** is available , I tell them I'm sorry but Tom is unavailable as he has passed on , the surprised caller then offers condolences asks for details ......Then I explain that my grandad Tom died in 1954 .... usually followed by words in basic "anglo-saxon " English . :D :D

I had two old calls yesterday one was a foreign woman wanting to do a leisure service, number not obtainable, and one from a firm called Baker and Brown exterior designers, number withheld, they both got, "you should not be ringing me I'm on the preferred callers list", the woman hadn't a clue what I was on about and the bloke asked why he shouldn't be calling me, so I answered in words of one syllable, think he got the drift:rolleyes:
