Had to phone a customer to tell them the three shirts I was framing were ready to be collected.

Phone rings, woman answers.

Her:

Hello

Me:

Hello, could I speak to Mr Tattersall please?

Her:

Who?

Me:

Mr Tattersall.

Her:

There isnt any Mr Tattersdall here. There has never been any mr
Tattersall here.

Me:

Oh. This is (repeat number to her) isnt it?

Her:

Yes, but I assure you that nobody called Tattersall has ever
lived here. What is it with regards to?

Me:

Some shirts he was having framed. It's wellgate arts and crafts.

Her:

And it's Mr Tattersall?

Me:

Yes.

Her:

Oh. Because my husband has took three shirts for framing, but
his name isnt Tattersall.

Me:

Oh. Then perhaps I wrote the name down wrong. What is the name?

Her:

Tatterthall.

Me:

I'm sorry. I thought that was what I said.

Her:

No. You said Sall, but it's Thall.....there is a big difference
between a Sall and a Thall....

Me:

(Biting my tongue) Sorry.... well is he there?

Her:

No. he's out. I'll tell him you called.

Line goes dead...........
