Mark,

How do you word it when you answer the door via the mobile? I'm never
quite sure what to say since you don't want to admit you're not in,
but similarly I don't want to sound a ponce by saying "oh if you're
only X I can't be bothered to answer the door to you".

To that extent unless I'm expecting a gadget parcel to be delivered I
often ignore the call nowadays. Plus it doesn't help that most people
can't work out the white box with a button on it *is* the doorbell.
Most people seem to prefer trying to put their knuckles through the
window instead...
