we have inherited the number of a previous dentist from around there.Man there is nothing weve been able to do except lose the number to shake em off. which we havent. there are surges as new databases are re sold and it all starts again. Responses have ranged from the polite to the bizarre. offers of string and door and a cassette tape in the background a while back. with screams. That was the winner in an online competition to 'find the best solution to the dentist calls'. Mind you the amount of spam calls dentists get is pretty awesome. as we know. Once ( I know its juvenile but.. there was so many) a suggestion of hypnosis instead of injections got quite a long way before the guy went 'hang on your winding me up here'. Once there was about 7 calls a day. Down to 3 a week now at most.

Hey Woodie, you could start a second career :))


A white coat, a big chair and a pair of pliers and you're away.

You think that was a nuisance? We once inherited the phone number of a clearly very popular male "masseur" - could've retired years ago if I'd taken up all the offers we got on the phone at all hours of the day and night.

    • Give the Monster Raving Loony party a shot. They cannot be worst that what is around now.
    • I’m going to stick my Gregory Peck right out and say not the Tories.
    • I think there's a lot in what you say. Although bi election results aren't usually indicative of GE results, I was horrified to see Reform support was so high in what had previously been a Labour stronghold, Labour and Conservative results reflecting the tired old parties they are.  It isn't our generation (sorry @Sue if I'm being presumptuous!) that will decide the outcome of elections but those in their 20s, 30s, 40s ... if they can be bothered to vote. The Greens and Reform now present a real choice instead of two centrist main parties of the last 30 years which has put people off voting. Perhaps locally I will continue to vote Labour, i really couldn't bear for the LibDems to return and we have to consider the demographic of the whole of Southwark. But come the GE I will probably vote Green.  
    • I agree but in the case of McAsh, that would just have left his constituents without a councillor for 3 months until the May elections. MPs switching parties is really galling. If an MP is suspended for law breaking etc., then a recall petition can be issued and, if enough of the constituents support it, a by-election is called. I think the same should apply for defectors.
