Ooh, I couldn't do that. New Zealand is too small! (Though I could use the names of my favourite bloggers, couldn't I?)
ReplyDeleteYou could! LOL I have a somewhat distinctive voice (in a good way, I'm told), so after I lived her awhile I stopped doing that.
ReplyDeleteHow odd. I can't imagine why they needed to ask your name.
ReplyDeleteYou must have more "original" folk in your neck of the woods! South of you almost everyone now seems to come from New Jersey, and they have absolutely no curiosity at all when I call. Maybe we should have settled in the north.
ReplyDeleteClearly this was before caller ID!
ReplyDeleteYes! The advent of Caller ID was problematic for me.
