I don’t care if these curses of the modern age provide employment for down-and-outs in third world countries, I don’t want them calling me, at any time, EVER!!! and it appears I am not the only person who is totally fed up with these annoying interruptions to the day. Up to ten times a day we are getting these damn calls – seven out of ten times they don’t even answer when you pick the phone up and when they do you cannot understand a blinking word they are saying and nor do they understand YOU.

Good news – some at least. There is a website -  http://whocallsme.com – and if you are experiencing this problem too visit the site where you will discover that you are not alone. If you have the facility to trace the caller who is bugging you – immediately after they have called there is a number you can dial which will tell you the number of the previous caller and once you have that go to the aforementioned link and enter the number where you will most likely discover who that pest is. Many of these calls are coming from the Phillipines and Thailand at the moment and now at least you can do something about it.

Then again, do as my sister did when she got fed up with a persistent caller from India – she blew a whistle long and hard down the line and that fixed  the problem.
