          Good morning/afternoon. Your call may be important to me and may be recorded for p-taking purposes.
          To request two references, press 1
          To request the name of my last client contact press 2 etc etc

          No, not really (but I wish ...)

              Hello, Cojak speaking.

              Clipped and business-like. It's automatic, I've started phone calls from Mr C that way too...

                  To quote BGG technique...


                  I usually say in my best "posh voice",

                  "Hello Control, are we go live ?"

                  ..they usually stumble for a moment then launch in to their spiel.

                  I interrupt and say "Hello ? I don't think you are Control. How did you get this number ? It's a secure line. I'm afraid you have committed a security breach. Please stay on the line whilst we trace your call and dispatch a team".

                  No one has ever yet stayed on the line...

                    Poor show. Get stuck in. They are very well designed.
