clicked 'Similar Products' I was directed to:

programming of sounds and rhythms. Percussion and non-percussion
instrument effects. Tones, built-in rhythms and songs.

Yesterday, I renewed my registration at a Dutch govt website designed
for those, who do not want to receive cold calls in the Netherlands.
I was given a long random password so that I could check and modify
my account if necessary.
I entered the username/password and received a reply that the password
was too simple and not secure enough!
Judging by info on their site they are not reluctant to hand out very
large fines to those who break Dutch telecommunication laws.
It does work very well. After I first registered the number of cold
calls dropped to a few a year
It's time there was something similar in UK or is there already?

If you're unwise enough to use that, you'll likely get more spam, not
less ...

However, they _are_ seemingly afraid of handing out large fines to
anyone who breaches the rules.

Perhaps because they are run by the direct marketing industry to the
benefit of the direct marketing industry? They are not a government or
law enforcement organisation.

Why do you say that?

TPW is real, official, and works.

About a month after I registered (years ago, now)
my cold calls dropped right off.

Further, the rare cold callers I do get now,
hang up like startled weasels when I ask
for their company name, and say I'll complain
to the TPS.

And as good as they might be for UK based firms it doesn't stop those
banana boat call centres in the Pacific;(..

A lot of UK cold calls originate outside of the UK where there are far
more English speakers than Dutch speakers available to man call centres.
A quick Google reveals that Dutch speakers in the Far East are mainly
found among middle classes lawyers and administrators.

There is, but it doesn't work very well because most marketing calls come
from abroad.
Now if they ever start teaching Dutch in Bangalore schools, be afraid. Be very afraid.
