Rant:Phone advertising

Okay, you're sitting there just eating your dinner watching hollyoaks etc and then the phone rings and you think oh I had better answer it just in case it's something important but then you get someone(normally from T-Mobile) who's grasp of the English language is pretty poor, stumbling through your name before babbling on about this latest phone worth £300 that they are going to give away to you for free, that's fair enough but when you say I'm happy with my current phone they carry on peddaling the same claptrap and don't listen to a sodding word you say, however many times you say you're not interested they just carry on and then they start getting offensive saying how foolish you're not to take them up on the deal, well I'm saving more by using my own phone thank you very much.I put the phone down but they are still there, I have to pull the plug in the end

Then there's the one's where it's not even a person it's a cheesy voiced moron who's recorded what they think is a good sales pitch when in actual fact it's an annoying pile of turd that nobody wants so buy or you've won a free holiday call this number to claim your cruise around the South of France when it's more like a tour on a pedalow round Bognor Regis(no offence Bognor) or you've just been done and have to pay a huge phone bill to a premium rate number.
