   For some unknown reason, the main fitting for my Landline phone is in   
   the main bedroom. (Who spends 24/7 in their bedroom?? Not even the   
   Elderly, I suspect.   
      
   When I first moved here and the phone rang, I'd make a mad dash into the   
   Bedroom and pick up the phone handset, only to find is was a Scammer   
   calling.   
      
   So I brought one of those "Answer machine and Two handset" systems ....   
   so now, if I get a call, I can let the Answer machine pick up the call   
   and then, if it's a Real call, I can pick up the phone whilst 'they are   
   leaving a message.   
      
   If its a Robotcall, it/they usually hang up whilst my "I'm not here,   
   leave a message" message is rattling off!Job done!

   Did you bother to ring the Radio Station to let them know ... or do they   
   already know??
