          My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

            "Can I speak to Kim something-Chinese-sounding?"

            "I don't know anyone called Kim."

            "Do you know how I can contact Kim?"

            "I don't know Kim."

            "Have you got a business number for Kim something-Chinese-sounding?"

            I hung up at that point.

            I always hang up at that point. They have called for Kim something-Chinese-sounding every day since this line was connected.

            Later, someone will phone from a mobile; that will be a wrong number. I get one of those every afternoon.

            Is this an NTLHell (a.k.a. VirginOnTheRidiculousMedia) line?

              I had the same problem with the guy who rang up from Sky yesterday.

              He had a particularly broad Irish accent & I was busting for a pee.

                why not ring them back and find out who they are?

                  Try that with a number like "0000000000" and see how far you get.



                  Or "0301"

                    i'd have gone for a pee and let the phone ring. it'll only be someone from sky / everest / barclaycard / blah inc. anyway...

                      One of those "page not found" messages despite the fact the post had posted correctly.
