Without wishing to hijack the thread, but since we're talking about scammy phonecalls, I've started to ask them to turn off their CD which is playing fake busy office sounds in the background. Only then do I ask if their parents are proud of them

Well, now you mention it


Am I correct in thinking that all practical jokes are supposed to take place before midday?

By the way - I didn't fall for any, 'cos I'm paranoid anyway

Well done Mrs LD, that's the first time I have been caught out in about thirty years.

Did anyone else get caught out?
