Ooh scary thought! I got another one the other night... I think someone's been passing the wrong number around. It said "mick it's laney give me a call im not happy wiv what you giv me" which led me wondering what Mick gave her that was so awful! As she clearly didn't know him very well (or she'd presumably have his number already) I came to the conclusion that Laney was the victim of a dodgy drug deal ;D Never received one, but am tempted to compose something innnocuous like "Don't forget milk and bread" and just send it off to random numbers, and see what response you get!  You clearly have more money and time than sense Malx  |

On my old phone various people with West Yorkshire accents kept on ringing and asking for "Matthew." My landline is now plagued by people wishing to speak to Ms. Wendy Geary, who apparently has an address right on the other side of Sutton. She's a neighbour of yours actually, BH! If I ever meet her I shall hit her for giving her personal details away to so many stupid companies.

Got another phone call for Ms McManus today. I get the feeling that she is in a fair amount of debt  |

Likewise Ms Geary is missing out on an awful lot of new products!  |

Our home phone number is one digit away from a local Chinese takeaway.
Yep, we get at least one call a week from someone trying to order something, if they sound okay I tell them they have the wrong number, however, if they sound a bit drunk or stoned I take the order and tell them it will be with them in twenty minutes.
Am I a b*st*rd?

My office number is only one digit different from a surgery. I'm quite used to females calling me to ask for an appointment :-)

Where I used to live, the phone number was the same number for a taxi company. The only difference was the area codes. Oh what fun it was getting woken up at 3am by pissheads wanting a taxi.

Keep getting phone calls for a residential care home, sometimes I tell them they've got the wrong number - other times I play along. You'd be surprised how many people think I've actually put them through to the nurses office.
