Masons Bridge - These people just won't take no for an answer. They keep ringing trying to sell "investment" art by dead artists and Damien Hirst. I blocked a number, and they just called again from a different one. They say they're "professionals," but talk over you even when you clearly say you aren’t interested. If you keep declining, they begin shouting and say you are being rude and disrespectful. A total joy to deal with. I hope they’ve now removed my number – or I've managed to block all the ones they use.
