one applies to us and one doesnt

# 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?

# yeah
thats the one that applies to all except for special circumstances such as when we are working on behalf of the european comission

i just realised that makes me a government mule of-a market research cock jockey phone monkey

# Woo and Yay!
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.
