I meant to write here about a phone call I received recently (when at Hels’s home, as my phone still isn’t working and BT are not convinced that there is a problem). The call started something like this:
Hello, sir. My name is Nigel, and I’m calling on behalf of Verylargetelephonecompany Limited to tell you about…
The question is, how many people are there called Nigel who have an accent from the Subcontinent?
At least you have not had a call from the Acmefuturematichomeoftommorow company.
I think you mean the Acme Futurematic Push-Button Home of Tomorrow Company Incorporated.
At least some guy from India didn’t phone to ask if you felt comfortable talking to him about your sanitary protection…8-(
Is that the sound of a line being crossed….Oh, what the hell!
