To get rid of the British Lifestyle Survey callers, I tell them that I charge £3 a question.
This also works for market researchers in the high street. |

Yes, British Life Style Survey calls are a nuisance. I tried being friendly, asking them questions, but, they take no notice.
The TPS can do nothing about the calls.
I don't like to do it, but, I decided to have some fun with them. Clearly, they are going to call back, and, if they want to waste my time, i'll waste theirs. |

I have just been called by British Lifestyle Survey and I asked if that was the company name. She hung up immediately! It is the second nuisance call I have had today despite also being registered with TPS! (The first was an automatic number dialling system and when I chose the option to speak to someone to get the company name, it put me through to an answering service!) I too am going to report it - the more reports they get, the more pressure they'll get to do something about it. |

I have had 2 calls in 3 days. I could not understand them for ages and even found myself apologising for their bad English - They assumed I was the person they actually asked for - not me, I asked to speak to someone else as the language barrier was a struggle. The floor manager came to the phone and talked v e r y s l o w l y to me but I still didnt get everything he said. I asked where he got my number from and he said "I honestly got it from the yellow pages" I said no, your not being honest as the name you called me does not exist for the number you called - he hung up. TPS probably wont be able to do anything as they are calling from outside the UK - I was already registered with TPS. |

Brtish Lifestyle Survey: I have been rung four times today, within the space of three hours, by four different people - all with Indian accents but professing to English names like James and John. I asked each one in turn to remove me from the mailing list and not to ring me again. On the fourth call I asked to be put through to a supervisor who was as good as useless. I asked him if his company was registered at Companies House in London and he said yes, when I queried this and asked for the name of the company director he rang off. It seems very fishy indeed. Beware. |

I have just received two calls from british lifestyle survey.
There is nothing the TPS can do about these calls: they only act for telemarketing calls, not for surveys or charities etc. Nevertheless ~I have contacted them with the details asking for advice as it seems it doesn't matter how many times I ask these w***ers not to ring me back, they still do!! Grrrrr & number withheld. Maybe I should get withheld numbers blocked? Anyway, waiting to see what the TPS advise.... |

I too have been harrassed by British Lifestyle Survey. Firstly I could not even understand who they were as the accent was so thick - which annoyed them. They started to confirm my name and address then to ask quite personal questions. I asked how they got my details as I have TPS and they declined to answer. I then said 'no more'and put the phone down. I also 1471'd and number not known. I also am reporting them to TPS. |

I have had six calls from British Lifestyle Survey in the last four days. I got one of them to tell me that they are calling from Bangladesh. They just will not take me from their lists so I am reporting them to the Telephone Preference Service. If they call you, treat them rough and tell them that you will report them for harassment.HFNRV |

I very recently had a phone call from someone claiming to represent 'The British Lifestyle Survey'. He wished to confirm my name and Address - which I did - but when I told him I had not heard of that organisation he rang off. I 1471'd but the caller's number was not known. Beware 'lifestyle surveys'. |

i believe that cannabis should be legalized as part of a medicall issue. people that have artheritous could use cannabis to help them with it. and really to be honest if cannabis doesn't get legalized people are just going to keep selling it and also dealing it which is getting them into trouble. Another reason why cannabis should be legalized is because this way only adults are going to be able to get hold of it unless there is still going to be a dealer that deals to children. Just give it a thought yeah imagine people in your family that have artheritous |
