Labour Party Phone In!

[TheBoatman]

2 days ago I answered my phone (whilst eating my tea) and a young lady said "I'm phoning on behalf of the parlimentary labour party" would you like to answer some questions? I said "No" and hung up. Tonight my wife got a call (whilst eating her tea) from the same person who asked her how she voted at the last election, she (wife) said I'm not telling you that, where upon girl hangs up!

Whats going on?

I think the next time they call (if ever) I will engage them in conversation just to see whats going on?

Does TB.Liar think that I'm gonna be pursuaded to vote for him from 1 phone call? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Got te some phonecall - also when we were eating.
Used some rather colourfull language - they hung up on me! (How dare they?)
They haven't called since.

They did this to me too. Only afterwards did I remember that I've been registered with the telephone preference service (which bans market research calls from the uk) for years. 0207 291 3320, in case you're interested, but the Labour party alone considers itself exmpt from this rule!

As a matter of interest was she phoning from Dheli? All my unsolicited spam calls seem to come from Dheli these days. I usually ask them what the weather is like where they are phoning from, which usually throws them long enough to ask what they had for supper or telling them "Congratulations! someone in your household has just won a stupid competition!". They usually lack the wit to respond.........

We had the same thing from the tories a few weeks ago - how did you vote, how will you vote, how great a prime minister do you think the Prince of Darkness will be? etc etc.

Feeling playful I just asked who this Michael Howard she kept referring to might be... I ended up leaving the phone on the kitchen counter, pouring a gin and retiring to another room leaving our derranged party worker to broadcast her message to the various kitchen appliances.

Cant wait until Tony's boys call...
