If its someone we know it usually comes up on caller display. If its someone I dont know I just say hello. I was advised years ago to never give no. If its someone I dont want to talk to I say sorry youve got the wrong no.

HELLO BOO

Just say hello these days although I used to give out the number. Wont even give my name unless the caller identifies themselves and says why they are calling.

If there is a time delay after I answer I usually disconnect because it is usually one of those automated call thingys where they are trying to sell you something.

I usually say.....































BOO

I say "Bog off".


No! Only joking. Although I'm tempted to be a contrary cuss and say "Bye", I say "Hello".

I'm a "hello" my hubby still says Battersea dogs home, (gets on my nerves), lol or other thing that gets me is when the phone rings he says whose that, how do l know !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I usually say.....'Hello' but my Son always says 'Who's speaking please'

Just say ''hello''

I'm ex directory, just say "Hello" ... have family who still say the whole number. xxx

PMSL Muffy - well you were breathing heavy when you answered yesterday, but i figured it was cos you rushed to the phone (cos had been ringing so long *tuts* lolol) xx

I just say 'Hello' these days, although years ago I used to give my number.

I usually do some heavy breathing in the hope that I get some back LOLOL.

No only kidding........I just say *hello* xx

What do you say ???

Just listening on the radio about the subject and realised that the tradition of quoting ones telephone number on answering seems to have fizzled out and mostly now it's just 'HELLO' ........... or if you have caller ID like I do, it's 'HELLO + name'.


When i lived at home and we first had a phone, my Dad used to do his crunch if you just answered 'hello' lolol

Just wondered if anyone still says their number at all when answering ? ? ?


:O))
