her: "well I'd imagine you won't get much work as a courier in the future"
Me: "I dont think that'll be a problem because we don't do any work as a courier now... where did you get this number?"
her: "you're listed in the thomson local as a courier"
me: "I'm afraid we're not love, we do vinyl artwork and clothing"
her: "so why have you listed yourself as a courier then?"
Me: "we haven't, someone's obviously put the wrong number in, or someones pinched my identity... where abouts are you?"
her: "Why do you need to know that?"
me: "because I need to know where you're calling from"
her: "I don't know if I want to tell you"
Me: "Well how are we going to pick these items up if you don't tell me?"
her: "oh I'm in cornwall dear, I thought you said you weren't a courier?"
me: "I'm not, but now I can get in touch with thomson local and tell them there's a courier in cornwall who's using my phone number"...

possibly the wierdest phone call I've had for about 6 months...
Have you tried the mobile number?
