ME. hello

CALLER. we have your water tank ready to be installed..

ME. when did i order that??

CALLER. You havent we are in your area tomorrow installing them..

ME. i dont need one my taps work fine.

CALLER. They are a spare water reserve tank and most people have them.

ME. Everyone except me, i gotta go now i need a shower thanks anyway.

end of call.


2nd call (plus others cant be bothered listing em all had about 5 now)

RING RING...

ME. Hello

CALLER. We calling with excellent discounts eso for you on booking holidays

ME. i am on holiday..

CALLER. But these are for holidays/hotel rooms all around australia.

ME. i am new to oz cant you tell with my accent (strong lancashire accent)

CALLER. But what about in 6 months time?

ME. i have a camper van

CALLER. That will be cramped wont it compared to a four star hotel?

ME. Nah its a winnebago
