Hi everyone


Gins .......... is TPS a service for banning cold calls??


If so, the Federal Government brought in a similar system here about 4 years ago.

I dallied for so long about signing up with it, that bad reports were being published ......... ie, about 4 months after it started

So I never did sign up, and therefore get cold calls. Usually jsut say No Thanks and hang up as soon as I realise.


A report was issued earlier this year that said that the "new" program had done nothing to even reduce the number of cold calls to people who signed up. In fact, many of them got MORE calls than before.


Summat wrong there I think!

Could this be your missing bride ?
Date is a year out mind you but can't see a 1850 marriage for Emma Blockley on freebmd.

Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1850


AGNEW William - BLOCKLEY Emma
Liverpool, St. Bride With St. Saviour Liverpool


EDIT : No, strike that, found the other marriage in 1850.
There's no entry for a 1851 marriage in Liverpool for Wm Agnew on Lancsbmd.
Perhaps he was entered on freebmd in 1851 by mistake

Im with virgin at the moment but I think I can change in a month or so when this contract is up.

Mum and dad have got talk talk with caller display so may try that

I feel bad about ignoring her but I think she may have problems that I really dont want to have to deal with now

Dea Report 2 Aug 2010 18:50

You see !!!!!!!

This is why I don't want to be on 'face book' - I have changed over the years and I have known MANY people - some of them I would love to get in touch with again but some of them I would NOT like to contact me. !!

I feel better when 'I' am in charge of who knows who and where I am !!
