God, does she witter on, and on, and on...

I quite enjoy the scam phone calls…it’s a way of having a little sport with the scammers.I have done the, ‘ sorry can I call you back, I am having a poo right now’
The response to, ‘Am I speaking to Mr Vlad ?’ …’No, this is Detective Inspector Smith, we are investigating a murder, what is your name and company?’
They hang up quickly for some odd reason ..
A very bad French accent can be fun till they get bored and hang up..
Do you have a fave response (other than the …. ‘off’) that you would like to share?

Oh, and once I did an Elvis impersonation and I could hear laughter.
