Taking phone off hook (UK)

[Patch49]

I like a nap after lunch but the phone often rings and wakes me up. If I take it off the hook it makes an bleeping noise. Is there any way to stop incoming calls for half an hour or so?

[Gromit]

Er, unplug the line?

[CrAcKaClOwN]

Yes,go outside for half an hour.

[CheekyChops]

My phone has a switch on it to turn the ringer on or off.

You're supposed to nap during lunch, not after it.
Big Brother has found out, and is honking down the phone at you.

So which call centre do you work for in the afternoon?
