Wrong number

Temp +6, grey, showers

On Friday it felt the like telephone did not stop. It was one of those days, when they are not for you. It is increasingly common to get offers on the telephone, some for charities, I think the first one was for a charity...it went something like this..

Me: Hello
Lady: Hello, how is the weather with you?
Me: er? well its wet and grey... and you?
Lady: yes, it is to here in Kristiansand too, bit boring eh?
Me: yes, and your point is?
Lady: well we wouldn't expect you to give a monthly amount but if I could send you a giro for 350kr (£30)...
Me: No I don't think so, I'm sorry, goodbye.

As always I felt incredibly sorry for the poor girl on the other end of the phone..

Next call, some bloke ringing for Hafslund, this is incrediably common, we probably get up to 10 calls a week for them- I think our number is very similar, or there is an actual fault on the line, anyway I guess one day it will annoy me so much that I may call the telephone opperator. So this one was a classic, we have been sworn at, hung up on, you name it..

Me (seeing it was an unknown number): Nikki Clarke speaking
Him: Hallo, er yes I would like to give you my electricity reading
Me (I am pretty honed on this one): I am sorry, you have dialed the wrong number, if you try again you will get through.
Him (shouting): NO I HAVEN*T, this is 815....
Me: I am sorry you have, this is 51... (like I wouldn't know)
Me: Bye

Last one was on my mobile, I knew it was a telesales..
Me: Hello
Them: Is this Mary?
Me: No sorry (for goodness sake at least get my name right)

Ah well, at least there is a centralised place to register with to take your name and number off these people's lists the Brønnøysund register, love this country. Shame it might take up to 3 months!
