Great phone call

[CON5933]

Not word for word...but something like this.. (I'm in Bold)

Hello...
Hi, is this Ian? (in a male but slightly effeminate voice)
Yes mate, speaking..
Ian the Tiler?
Yes mate, what can I do for you?
Do you do bathrooms?
Fit the bathroom or tile it? we do both.

uncomfortable pause.....

Hello?
erm...just tile i think..
No problem, when's convenient for you, i'll come and have look at it?
Can't you just give me a price over the phone?
Sorry mate no, I have to measure it, see what the walls are like, see what type of tiles you have etc etc,
mmmmmm

Thinkin' i'm losin him....

How big's the bathroom?

another pause....

Hello?
We haven't decided yet..
Sorry?
on the tiles...
:mad2:
Oh I see...
about twice the size of the toilet..
What??
the bathroom, it's about twice the size of the toilet..
So how big is the toilet? (beginning to lose the will to live)
I've never measured it but i don't want that tiling...it's wallpapered
:mad2::mad2:

by this time i'm resigned to the fact that this isn't going to happen..

Look, whatever time suits you best i'll pop round and have a look, where are you based?
mmmmm...don't really like giving information like that out on the phone..
:mad2::mad2:
can't you give a 'ball-park' figure?
:incazzato:
I've never bought one...
one what?
A ball-park..
Sorry?
Don't be, it's not your fault..
mmmmmmm..

another pause..

Hello??
Thanks for that, is it ok if I call you back?
Absolutely, I'm here to help..:mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:
