MOD telephone operator directory

Ok, something like this
" Good afternoon, operator how can I help you?"
"Could I have the number for the UPO in Raleigh please"
"Who do you want to speak to?"
"Anyone will do""
Sir I must know specifically or I cannot help you"
"Erm ok then the Office Manager"
"His Name?"
"I do not know,......we do not socialise"
"I need his name Sir"
"Bob"
"Bob who?"
"I dont know I was being sarcastic"
"Is there anything else I can help you with Sir"
"No thanks you have done enough already lol"

Brill, happened to any 1 else?

 

:LOL:

 

I love it that they can't give you 2 numbers in one call. I thought rationing ended in the 50s?

 

I just love it when you ask for CONNECTION to a number and then they insist on reading the bloody number out and asking if you want CONNECTION!!
THEN they don't even give it long enough for someone to answer before you are put back to a DIFFERENT operator and have to go through the whole process again.
Oh how I laugh :roll:

 

Used to get them calling the Captains Registry NELSON on a regular basis to ask if we knew the number that someone else had asked them to provide. My response was to question what their purpose in life actually was which, for some reason, they took offence to. Sadly not offended enough not to ever call back again.
