chrishansenhomeJust got a telephone call. "Hi, I'm Debbie from Citibank. Do you have a few moments?" Me: "Well, only a very few." (I have to check in to my BA flight online in a few minutes when it becomes available.)
Debbie: "Could you confirm your postcode for me, please?"
Me, suspiciously: "Is this a survey?"
Debbie: "No, it's only a few questions. A survey is when you ask a lot of questions."
Me, laughing: "I worked in market research for many years, and that is a survey. I don't have enough time at the moment. Good-bye."
Debbie: "Good bye" (hangs up)
