Yesterday morning I was having breakfast when the phone rang.
I
picked up, there was such a long satellite delay that I very nearly gave up.
Then
a male oriental voice said “Hello?”
“Hello.”
“Hello ma'am
it’s Robin here, calling from Microsoft’s office in Reading, am I speaking to
Ms Bentonbag?”
“Robin
what?”
“Robin
Smith, I’m calling about your Microsoft computer.”
“There’s
no such thing as a Microsoft computer, Microsoft is a software system that is
used to operate computers.”
“I
know that.”
“Then
why do you say you are calling me about a Microsoft computer when you know such
a thing does not exist?”
Long
silence with call centre noises in the background.
Then
the dialling tone
And
there he was gone.
