# poor bastard?
i dont think youve ever done this job have you? listen closely while i regail you with tales of not having to speak to anybody on the phone whilst being paid to do so but instead having the distinct advantage of being avle to do anything but work in that time

# which list is that
one applies to us and one doesnt

EDIT: although when doing the european comission studies we get sent our way none of the lists apply to us

# The TPS list
applies to you guys when calling residential numbers. Not sure what the story is with businesses...

# i cant remember
what it was now, it was ages ago when we kept getting weird phone calls (seemed like someone had dialed and just left the phone - i could hear normal household goings on)

bt's first thing to do was to get on the list. eventually the calls stopped... odd it was

For everyone else, if you put register your phone number here it's illegal for market-resarch cock jockeys to call you! Ain't that grand?

I had heard of that but thought it was an urban myth. No more interrupted dinners for me!!

# I'm on that list
and about a month ago I got a call from CR Smith double glazing. I politely informed the caller that I had got double glazing and that I was on the exclusion list. To which he replied "well, fuck off then".
I found it quite intimidating actually.
