Usually I just put the phone on Speaker and Mute and let them deal 
with a silent answer.

This week I answered and asked what they wanted (as if I didn't know)
and when they said "Is your computer getting slow to start?"
I said No, my computer starts within Two Seconds. Cry of disbelief and 
asked for answer again.  After several attempts the 'Innocent?' young 
lady said "I think you are playing with me" and hung up.
   [I rever actually LIED to them, I've still got a BBC B]

Previously when I answered and Windows was mentioned I said I was sick 
of being called as all my windows were fully double glazed !

Are we trying for the record in wasting their time and 'phone money?
