The phone rang thirty minutes ago. Note the time of this blog post.
"Hello, this is Ripp, Off and Screwem Energy. You can get a grant to fit solar panels. To opt out of this service, press one, or to get one of our sales staff to pester you out of your life savings, press one and they will call you at a suitably awkward time"
I don't want anyone phoning me at this time of night. If you phone after 9pm, it better be important, or you will be getting a very frosty reception. Important means somebody is dead. Actually, dead is not important, as they will still be dead in the morning. Phone me after 8am. Important means they were dead and there has been a sudden change in circumstances. Press button one for the second coming or two for the zombie uprising. There is nothing so important it can't wait until morning.
If you are troubled by unpleasant voices in the night, the Information Commissioner's Office would love to hear from you. The Telephone Preference Service may reduce some calls.
