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.

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
