Some people in Stoke just cross it out with their eyebrow pencil, but the rest of us select the necessary bit then click the S with a line through it above the text box.

I loath the telephone waking me up when I'm on nights to discover an automated voice offering me services that I don't want.  Trouble is, how do you get your number removed from their databases?  I hardly give out my landline number but they still find me!
Apart from unplugging the phone, what's the answer?

just turn the ringer off?  :-?

Had one the other week asking me if i wanted double glazing, upvc facsias, soffits etc, so i asked him about prices, quality, what british safety standards etc they work to and then after about 20 minutes to the point he wanted to take a deposit, i asked him should i ring my landlord for permission to which point, he hung up on me lol.
