You're not alone Ian.
There's a lot of it about, I just had the weirdest cold call I've had for a while.
Must be a strong batch out there somewhere.
Good afternoon, Fminor.
Hello can I speak to someone about your franking machine?
We don't have a franking machine so that's easy.
I've been phoning every six weeks, why has no one ever told me that?
I've no idea, but we don't have one, we've never had one, you must have the wrong company.
That's Fminor isn't it?
Yes that's right.
Why has no one ever told me that then?
Are you sure you've got the right company.
Yes I've got the right company, I've just said it's Fminor haven't I?
Yes it is, but we've never had a franking machine
No one has ever told me that and I've been phoning every six weeks.
Well what sort of conversations have you been having then?
About Ink and cartridge refills for the machine
Well you can't have, because we don't have one
Are you saying I'm lying?
No, but you must have the wrong company.
No I haven't, you are Fminor
Yes, but I 'm sorry you must be mistaken, who did you speak to?
I spoke to a lady in reception
We don't have a reception, there's only sales and accounts. What did she say?
She said you wanted two inks and a (something?) and that she was in the general office admin section.
Well we don't an admin section
Are you saying I'm lying, it's here in my notes?
What did she sound like?
What do you mean?
Where was she from? Did she have an accent?
I speak to hundreds of people every day I can't be expected to remember....
Well I'm sorry but we only have one lady here and she's French and the head of Export so I doubt you spoke to her.
You're saying I'm lying...
Alright then, are you saying I'm lying? That we do have a franking machine but I'm pretending.............
She hung up.
