He seriously did not appreciate my laughing at him and telling him that was the whole idea

I (sort of) miss those calls. I installed a set of BT8500 phones, which includes a caller filter, which is settable for various levels of call blocking. I have it set to the max., if your number is not in the list, the only way you will get through (to ring) is by saying your name and pressing #. All the callers who need to get through, police, GP, hospitals etc. have come across these before and get through. Nuisance callers just give up.



I used to be flooded with ten of these callers per day, now I rarely get any at all - they have blacklisted my number I think

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
