Just found a link on the BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-s...wales-11168250
A neighbour of mine's technique for dealing with calls like this is to ask the caller to hold on a moment while he turns down the TV and then just leave the phone off the hook for about 15 mins. It seems to have worked for him.
