This is us how to deal with cold callers.

A cousin of mine deals with cold callers by very politely requesting them in Welsh to speak Welsh, as it is his legal right in Wales to conduct all business in Welsh.

That must really confuse them, and if they ever get a translation..............well, he's done nothing wrong, as he's scrupulously courteos!

My favourite for dealing with cold callers is when they ask if they are speaking to Mr miles I reply no this is his butler speaking but I can take a message for you if you wish.

That completely confess the Asian call centre employees in particular - sudden dead tone on line !

Its when someone who doesn't know me asks 'how are you today' I always know they are trying to sell me something I don't want. My answer, 'I was better before you called me' always seems to throw them out of their stride.
