What's wrong with just saying 'hello' and having a normal conversation to ascertain who it is?
After the fifth interuption to dinner in a week "hello" isn't what comes to mind to say to them...
You can always put the phone down if it's PPI-er, as their taped spiel starts...
Easier just to let them talk to the answering machine, I can pick up if it's someone I want to talk to. I'd say that around 90% of the calls I get in a week are from telesales, only maybe 10% are from friends and family.
