I haven't heard of any one threaten that they will continue phoning!

that's weird


PLUS, the fact that they have your address.



Many people who registered on that similar "don not call" programme in Canada .......... found that they got even more calls :-S

Gl\d it helps for you Ginns !!

Oh it would Dea, if, like me you have very few photos of your family


Thanks Cyns, I saw my photots (Doh) and my cousins :-(

Been there Cynths - I don't think it adds anything !!

As you say - they are all 'pixilated' so you can't see anything !

Plus which, they give no details re timeline or place!

At least when you put up a person and then click on search trees - It will give you connections and who has photo's etc of 'your' person !!

Far more useful !

What an exciting day you have had Dea......I DO hope you don't get anymore phone calls from him.


Gins.....click on Search above and then on Search photos and media. You can enter the name of someone in your tree to see if anyone else has a photo of them.

Good idea in theory but if, for example, you put in Mary Ann Jones, you will get a lot of hits and versions of the name. GR have taken the photos along with the captions next to them eg. Mary at Skegness......Mary on back row.....Mary Ann the bridesmaid etc.

Also, most of the pictures are pixilated due to the privacy thing so that's no help either. You could be looking at Gunga Din for all you know.



Had quite a good day really. Dentist was fine - no probs there. Picked up grandchildren who are in nagging mode for their parents to get a dog. We've all been there I'm sure!


Going for a browse....~~~~

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D


Trouble is Dea, he will just make a note on the system to call back and the next poor so an so who phones you will get the ear drum blast!

........but I wouldnt worry

:-D

I have just 'dug out' my 'rape alarms' which I used to carry about my person when walking the streets of Barcelona at night alone (in the course of my employment as a tourist guide, you understand!!) ;-) :-D :-D

Anyway - they have new batteries fitted now and if he calls again he will get one at full blast down the phone which will, at the very least, burst an eardrum !!!

I don't think he will phone a third time !!! :-D

Dea Xxx

He should well be Ginns !!!

IF he persists, I will have EVERYONE on to him !!!

Dea Xxx

P.S. - Somehow, I think that he won't be bothering me again ?? ;-)

Dea Xxx

Oooh Dea.......its him that should be scared :-S


~~~~~Margee :-D

If it's the same as it is here in Canada it doesn't help by being on the "Do not call" list. It only prevents calls made from inside the country and, as you know most calls originate in India or Pakistan.

Yes - I have checked and I AM registered !!

Didn't stop them though !!! :-(

Dea Xxx

Thank you Jonesey - I believe I am already registered on there but I will do it again !!!!

I was quite 'taken aback' by his comments but I am not so 'frail' that I would be worried about it BUT there are some people who would be !!!

Thanks,

Dea Xxx

Dea,

A suggestion. Go to the site below and register your telephone number, it is free to do so. No guarantee that it will stop your Indian gentleman or any other telephone sales, surveys or scam calls reaching you but it is possible that it may help to reduce them.

Once your number has been registered any company who cold calls you without your permission is breaking the law. If found to be making such unsolicited calls to registered numbers regularly they are liable to receive a very hefty fine. Last week 2 such companies were fined £2.5 million each.

If you do receive any unsolicited marketing calls in the future just ask the caller for their company name and advise them that you will be reporting them to TPS for further action.

OOOhhhh dear !!

My screen has gorn all big and strange now !!

Is there a problem on the site at the moment ??

Dea Xxx

Perhaps it is my 'little Indian man' getting back at me ???

Dea Xxx ;-)

I DON'T BELIEVE IT !!!!!

I had a phone call today from a very polite Indian gentleman and I was very polite in return !

He wanted to ask some questions re my TV supplier - I politely told him that I do not get involved in telephone surveys - he assured me that it was not just a normal survey but was particularly targeted to my address (which he quoted) and that I would never receive further contact from them again.

I re-iterated that I don't do telephone surveys and said that I must now go !!

His reply was:

In that case 'Maam', I will make sure that you receive a call like this every day from now on !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was almost speechless but did give him a 'mouthfull' back.!! Unfortunately, I think he cut off too early to hear it !!!

Just let him try !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dea Xxx

Boiled eggs and toast........thank you

:-D

Cyns, what search button, photos etc :-S

Good morning all :-)

Glad you enjoyed the Turkey Sylvia - the weight makes sense now ;-)

That's what I buy nowadays at Christmas time - a Turkey breast joint. Being only two of us it is much more practical and there is plenty left over for sandwiches.

Lovely breakfast - thank you <3

Hope your trip to the dentist goes well Cynths.

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

Oh yes! Have you tried the new Search feature and the new Keepsafe button above?

I tried the search feature yesterday but, whilst it could be helpful to some, I think we could end up sending lots of messages to 'possibles' connections rather than definite ones.

If people labelled their photos in a clearer fashion - with dob....pob etc. it would be easier to search eg. there are too many Mary Smith's to enable you to choose which maybe yours, especially as the pictures are mostly pixilated for privacy. Take a look and see what you think.
