1324791	2013-01-25 10:53:00	As mentioned, have a recording next to the phone, like These guys (www.youtube.com):) have it on repeat, then after you answer, set it going -- it goes like this, Hello <insert name> speaking - set recording going - walk away. :lol:	wainuitech (129)

The bad news is that they are moving to Kenya, which is on the same time line as the UK but also has a clearer accent.	Digby (677)

Landline subscribers have to opt in. If any call centre calls a private number on the register, they are subject to substantial penalties. I have been a member of the Australian Register for several years, and it certainly dramatically cuts down the number of unsolicited sales calls.	KenESmith (6287)
