I once knew a chap who recording, on a cassette tape, a long spiel about how he didn't want double glazing because he'd heard that they were going to re-introduce window tax, and that he was thinking of having his windows bricked up to save money. The full version lasted nearly ten minutes. If the double glazing people rang, he just hit `play' on the cassette recorder and left the tape talking to the phone. (he lived in a leased flat in a listed building with curved windows that he wasn't allowed to replace with anything at all - he'd've *liked* double glazing, if only...)

No, but you would be the one choosing to not lift the receiver unless I've not blocked the number - the decision to refuse to receive the call would be made by you, not by me. > Do I stop you leaving a message? [snip] That would be my choice. But it would be your choice to refuse to lift the receiver if I rang - your choice to turn down the offer of a call.
