Had a quiet afternoon at work. Most of my time was spent ordering a piece of software for school; a copy of Dreamweaver. I phoned the company and spoke to a charming French lady.....My name eeez Marie Claire........like zee Magazeen.

It took quite a while going through the formalities ...you get a discount being a school, but have to prove that you are a school ordering. Eventually, I finish talking to her and give her a chirpy 'au revoir'. Just in time for my coffee break. Get to the staffroom, pour my coffee, settle myself down and Jan the secretary walks in and announces, "Phil, there's a phone call for you. It's Marie Claire.......I didn't know you wrote for them."

I left the entire staffroom gobsmacked and wondering.
