The 'PPI advice line'

[MarkV6]

had a call from Melvin at the 'PPI advice line'.... Kept him on the phone for 23 mins, in which time I'd told him I'd changed my name to Algernon Reginald Smythe III, had a poem published in The Guardian, had paid off my £437K mortgage 8 years ago, was in a civil partnership with Rupert Cuthbert Portland Snr, and we were due to fly out tomorrow for a 4 week holiday in Thailand after I'd finished the nuclear rocket for Iran.....

#*%kers waste my time on a Saturday.... so I'll waste theirs.....

The callers from 'whoever' tech support about my PC sending virus emails get similar treatment too....

(And yes I am already on the TPS register)

i remember a conservatory company calling me some years ago i went through all the chat and spiel they had to say after taking about designs solar panels and what like for nearly an hour i asked the question if they could build it on the second floor of my flat

safe to say the chap wasnt to chuffed

serves them right i get these t*****s calling me every day sometimes up to 3 times, think its funny when you get an obvious Indian voice calling himself Kevin

An Indian called 'Eric' rang me yesterday too.

I alternate between being very polite but telling them their information is "years out of date" (hoping they'll scub my name from their list) or simply saying "oh hang on a sec there's someone at the door" then leave the phone until they hang up - it blocks their line for a while & entertains me for a minute too
