Friday at work we got a phone call. The lady on the other end said she was phoning from Manhatten and wanted to speak to Darren. I said there was no Darren but only a Colin. She went on to say she was responding to a message left with her to ring back. Now being as we do sometimes get stuff from the US i went to get the manager and told it was a lady from Manhatten on the phone.
She answered it and started laughing, the lady she said was from Lion Hudson (a publishing house) and wanted Doreen (the manager). So much for my hearing, but she did have an accent.
I have had this problem before, 'The Greatest Love of All' (song), i heard as, the greatest navaho, till told different and 'Ghost Busters' i heard as Cock Fosters.
Don't even ask.
