I have been bugged by a number calling me 3-4 times a day, sometimes with, sometimes without caller ID.

'This is an important message from Lloyds TSB for Miss Felicity Mason ... Press 2 to continue [or words to that effect]. '
Then if you don't respond:
'Please contact our automated response service on 08453312320 between the hours 8a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday.'

Initially I thought that they had got the wrong person, as I am neither female or a member of Lloyds TSB, but I didn't reply to the request anyway. Plus I thought that a real bank would not use an automated call to reach a customer.

So...

I typed the number into Google, turned up a site: WhoCallsMe

It seems that if you press 2 to continue, they ask you to check that they have the right number (silly as by the very fact they are ringing you, they must have the correct number!). If you say (i.e. press 2) 'no', then you can change the number to anyone you want.

So, anyone got any ideas for the most expensive places to call in the UK (don't know if it will work elsewhere)?

Extra points for imagination.....

UK premium rate lines are capped at £1.50 a minute, so unless it will accept international calls it won't cost them a massive amount....

I am going to hijack my own thread here - can you see my avatar when you click on this thread? Every time that I do, I can't see it. But when I refresh the page, it reappears. Any reason for this?

Edited to say:
Now my avatar appears on this post, not the one above

Once heard of a women who caught her boyfriend cheating on her . She phoned the speaking clock in New York from his phone when he was away.

Give them Mangogrooveworkshops number

once he gets talking there aint no stopping the bugger.

Thats gonna hurt when the bill comes through.

Give them Mrs. E. Windsor's number: 0207 930 4832 (unless it has changed). I am sure she will get someone from Hereford to stop the nuisance calls.
