Date Posted: Thursday, May 29, 03:47:32pm Earlier in the year, as is my habit, I was phoning round the insurance companies trying to get a sensible quote, and going through all the same old details time after time, usually to some bored young lady on a computer keyboard. The final conversation went, after the usual details, somewhat like this. “Marital status ?” Married, “Okaay …… Do you live with your partner ?” No, “Okaay ……” I live with my wife. (Confused silence) My partners difficult to work with, I wouldn’t want to live with him too! “Okaay ….( Sound of delete key, rapidly)” “Partners name ?” “Are you sure you want his name, or would you rather have my wife’s?” “Wife’s” (Getting mildly irritated) “(name given)” “Okaay ….Partner’s .. er .. Wife’s address ?” “Same as mine, ...one of life’s little coincidences !” “Okaay … (rapid typing, slight delay, some slightly annoyed snorting) “Wife’s marital status ?” “Married, they just don’t do a one way ticket on that !” ……. From there we just degenerated into pure farce, my wife, who had been listening in, had tears rolling down her face and was close to having a stroke trying to suppress hysteria, so I gave up on that one. Sometimes I think it really is me who is the one out of step ! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
