    A guy just rang me about his faulty Hoover washing machine. The conversation went as follows: –

    Customer: “I bought this Hoover from you a year ago and it’s now gone wrong!”

    Me: “I don’t sell washing machines!”

    Customer: “Well anyway it’s got your sticker on the front of it!”

    Me: “What’s your problem with the machine?”

    Customer: “It trips the electric every time we switch it on, how soon can you come and fix it?”

    Me: “No probs, where do you live?”

    Customer: “Chorley”.

    Me : “Where????”

    Customer: “Chorley in Lancashire”.

    Me: “I’m 200 plus miles away from you, maybe you should look for someone a little closer to home?”

    At one time I kept getting calls from towns around Glasgow, a similar 190 to 200 miles from me. I think they got my number from some kind of search engine which takes a very liberal view of the term “local”. 😆

    Re: You live where?

    I had my only Amica job in the other week. Can I do a job in Margate?

    128 miles away and thats using the M25. I know £50 is meant to be a good insurance rate but I declined the call. 🙂

    I had one yesterday (referred by 118118 :rolls: )
    Proper MyLuvver accent wanted her washer fixed. Didn’t recognise the dialling code so asked where she was.

    Torquay
    281 miles away 😯

    I declined.
