    "Hello is that Mr Taylor"

    "No, you have the wrong number"

    "Do you own your property sir, this is a call from Kitchens Direct"

    I hung up.

    Of course, I'd really be interested in a company that don't even get your name correct when they call you!

    Had some bloke from EON knock on the door sometime around MArch. Mr Emmerich? he asked. No I think you must be looking for Miss Emmerich at number 10, this is 11 as the number clearly says, oh and she moved out last September. Oh our records must be out of date, would you be interested in changing we guarentee to beat EDF and British gas. No thanks mate you'll probably end up changing the wrong house over!

    Sound interested and ask them to hold on while you answer the door.
