Brilliant! Thank you for making such hilarity available for free!

I worked in a call centre years ago, like Nick, and we put together a call centre magazine featuring a lot of transcripts of real calls like this. Some probably were wind ups, but at least some of them were genuine. We loved it.

Maybe they were all winding you up, Nick.

I used to do this for a living, and I came across real people exactly like this. Funny stuff.

Loved it! We had a spate of calls in the US (mostly timeshares) where they’d pretend to be calling on the recommendation of a friend (they’d use some generic name). Having time on my hands I strung the telemarketer along & then confessed that I was surprised that “John Smith” would have given out my number since we were having a secret gay affair & were very much still in the closet.

5 seconds of silence then he hung up! Never called back since.

I’d forgotten how good this was. Just wonderful.
