I AM fed up getting nuisance telephone calls at home asking me if I have had an accident and wish to make an insurance claim.

I don’t know if any of your other readers have the same problem.

They always ring just as you’re having something to eat or when you’re watching a good TV programme.

I really object to being disturbed when I’m trying to relax after a hard day at work.

One evening, the phone rang at almost 10pm. I was so annoyed I asked the caller for his home telephone number.

He seemed flummoxed. I said: “Give me your number so I can ring you when you get home and see how you like being disturbed.”

Some of my other friends have a whistle by their phone that they blow making a piercing sound to annoy callers. Has anyone got any other ideas to get rid of these unsolicited callers?
