Surprisingly, I don’t get any cold calls, haven’t for the last few years, maybe down to me simply telling them to FO when connected, exactly those words, no more, no less, maybe they took my advice.

I add " you c**t" on just for further emphasis......

Tend to have a flurry of calls for a few days every couple of months usually after I have had to give my mobile number out to someone/somewhere obviously 'selling it on'.

99% of any calls I will get are filtered out as I usually don't answer an unknown number, only if I am 'expecting a call' and I never answer withheld numbers under any circumstance
