Landline phone just rang, call from 0845 6021111 which is a BT service 
that converts text messages to speach. As it wasn't clear what it was 
about and the senders number was withheald I just hung up. It appears 
that this is the latest ploy to get through to people for sales or other 
purposes. If you get trouble and call 0800 5875 252 you get a message 
about changing curfew times. Press 1 to change then option 5 on the next 
menu turns them off completely.

Which is exactly why I am on the telephone preference service and, more 
importantly, have a digital answer machine switched on 24/7 intercepting 
every incoming call with a message that informs the caller, amongst other 
things, that we do not accept calls from telesales companies, and inviting 
legit callers to announce themselves after the tone ... leaving us the 
choice as to whether to pick up or not.  As Alexander the meerkat would say 
"Simples".
