Sorry I wasn't clear. Yes my phone is off outside my hours.

As my old client base evaporated with the pandemic (which included mature businessmen stuck in hotels) most of the out of hours calls I have picked up when I've had insomnia and been at my desk have been undesireables. I used to tag out of hours calls I missed as OOH (Out of Hours) but now save the bother and just tag them as blocked and block them. In fact one reason why I picked the hours I did was to avoid early morning van drivers and drunks who had just left the pub and fancied a shag.

I stick it on silent.

Exactly 

I recently discovered airplane mode, very useful.

Good evening,

My name is KKKKK and i am a 45 year old stockbroker based in Belgravia.

I would love to have a chat about getting a date in the diary to meet!

Hopefully speak soon,

KKKKK xxx

A cut & paste message if ever I read one, and a useless one at that where he couldn’t even be bothered to add my name.  The cherry on top are the xxx at the end. Nothing makes me cringe more than a complete stranger signing off this way.

Those who are serious about making a booking use my booking form. This message was sent via my contact form which is a great screening out tool - I find that every single message here is a variation of the above, and contains none of the information I actually need or even stipulate be sent. This is why this particular form goes to an email address I check sporadically as there is never anything worth following up in it.

Oh I get similar texts from AW 'traders' for years but not the samples offer! That's a new wrinkle.
but surely that's just a dealer of recreationals, not a hopefull trying to book?
