Started wittering on about insulation. I told him cold calling was illegal, that he should get a proper job, and hung up.

'Trevor' called, to ask me about my loft insulation, my boiler and my cavity walls. Third time in 2 days. Got more aggressive every time I said I wasn't interested and that my cottage has solid walls with no cavity. I asked which county council he was calling on behalf of and he couldn't tell me. Third time I've asked them to remove my number.
Heavily accented bloke asked if I was Mrs Lewis (I replied yes, for fun, even though it isn't my name) and he proceeded to tell me how he was from the city council "because of corona and your loft insulation". I informed him I don't have a loft, so he asked how I keep warm. I replied that I collect scam callers, put them in a pile and set light to them and it keeps me lovely and cozy. To which he replied "f***ing burn yourself" and hung up :)
Silent call!
Phone only rang a couple of times before stopping so didn't have time to pick up - did a 141 call back and got a recorded message saying "This is extension 129 and it is not possible to leave a message"
Rang, silence when answered then a recorded voice said “goodbye”
Hung-up
