I have found that picking up and not saying anything doesn't always work with wanted calls. People wait for you and hang up if they don't hear. Particularly if the answerphone kicks off too soon.

There are those of us who take more than irritation at trying to be conned. Anger helps no-one, but if we have been interrupted we assuage our anger by making use of the call. It is second prize. The first is not getting the call.

But Hey! Why do we sing? Why do we post here? It's a game. They may be savvy to it, but the longer we stretch it out, the fewer others are put at risk. We are doing a service to the world and having a bit of fun.

Would you deny us that Mr Shaw?
