In the end just snapped one day and I let this bloke have it both barrels, the full gamut of four letter word profanities, it worked as I haven't been contacted since

I've had that one - several times. They try to tell me that my husband originally took out an insurance cover plan and now we need to renew it. They must have some access to records of the Sky subscription because they called me Mrs. Whisp*. (It is now Whisp-Busman but the Sky subscription is still in my late husband's name.) I got tired of telling them we had no such insurance and even if we did have I don't want to renew it. The last one was good though because they asked if they could speak to my husband - now I could have just put them on to Busman but I felt wicked and asked them if they meant Mr Whisp whose name the Sky subscription was in. They replied "yes" so I told them I woukd check if they had a phone line installed at the cemetary. They asked me if that was where he worked and I replied "No, that's where he's buried!" (He was actually cremated but they don't know that.) - They hung up - I wonder why?

*well not actually Mrs. Whisp - they used the name I had when married to my late husband.
