I managed to keep one of these people on line for quite a while recently asking a lot of questions about what I should do and what to press, etc etc, without actually doing anything, and then finally let on that I do not use Windows but Ubuntu Linux.
The phone call was suddenly dropped at the Indian end after that. It made me feel really good!

Ah-ha ..... And it was Ken's colleague Alex who called us from India just a couple of days ago. And before that it was John, and Rex, and Dave, and Mike, and Sam and ...... for about the past 15 years. You'd-a thought they'd-a got the message by now.

Simon, it was a phone call, had it been at the door I would usually let the dog answer the door!!

Meaning that he called in person, as in 'knocked on the door', not just called like the usual India-sourced "We are from windows and we know your computer is not working ....." phone calls? That's a new one, then.
