When I lived in the UK
I eventually stopped answering my landline altogether, because the number of times it was actually for me worked out to about 1% of the calls I received.

The rest was divided about equally between double glazing/car insurance/pension plan/other spammers and people who thought I was someone/something else entirely - an old people's home, a travel agency, a library...you name it.
