W e can almost imagine the telephone conversation that led to this…
“Hello, thanks for calling BT.”
“Er, hello, Hulton Lane builders here,”
“If you’re calling from the number you want to talk about press 1 now”
“Oh ok! But we were wondering if you could move your telegraph pole so we could finish building our house?”
“Please enter the full number of the telephone you’d like to talk about.”
“Look, your telegraph pole is right where we want to build our house.”
“You’ve now got four choices”
“And you’ve got to get it shifted, or these lads’ll be on overtime.”
“If you’d like to place or check on an existing order press 1 now.”
“Look, is there somebody there who I can talk to about this telegraph pole?”
“If your call is about billing or payments, press 2.”
“No I’m not calling about bloody billing!”
“If you’re moving home and want to stop your service, press 3.”
“You’ll be moving home in a minute if you don’t answer my question.
“If you’re calling to report a fault or need help with any of our services, please press 4 now.”
“Oh sod it!”
“Right lads, it’s not going anywhere so build the bloody thing around it.”
