Ditto. Long ago I stopped answering any cold-call “surveys.” You don’t have any idea who is really on the other end of the phone, nor why they really want that information. So the get immediately hung up on.
I answer the phone only if 1. I know who’s calling, and 2. I want to talk to him/her.
Robocallers seldom leave messages, BTW.
“How many guns do you own?” Nobody but nobody should ever answer that.
Yes, in UK there’s the added danger that the pollster could be a muzzie.
I think it was 2004 when I got a “polling” call.

THEY hung up on ME.
