I asked them to identify themselves and by the time they've done that, I tend to say, 'I don't wish to speak to you - goodbye.' I then feel a mixture of annoyance with some sympathy for the people who have to work in such a soul-destroying job - they must get a lot of verbal abuse and are probably under pressure to meet targets.Nancy Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414597433860002332noreply@blogger.com
