Ignoring any legalities for the moment, surely it is simple politeness to make people aware of this fact?

Has anyone any definitive guidance on telephone recording (have already referenced OFTEL , RIPA, DP Act etc). I specifically want to determine if the external caller MUST be advised that their call will be recorded i.e. a message to that effect. It would seem to me that if they are not we will contravene DP and RIPA and Telecoms Acts.
