Quality: (Quality: Unrated)
The following are real conversations Directory Enquiry Operators had with callers, as revealed in interviews with staff at the Cardiff Telecomms Directory Enquires Centre.
C = Caller and O = Operator.
C: I'd like the number of the Argoed Fish Bar in Cardiff, please.
O: I'm sorry, there's no listing. Is the spelling correct?
C: Well, it used to be called the Bargoed Fish Bar but the B fell off.
C: I'd like the number of the Scottish knitwear company in Woven.
O: I can't find a town called "Woven"? Are you sure?
C: Yes. That's what it says on the label -- Woven in Scotland.
C: I'd like the RSPCA please.
O: Where are you calling from?
C: The living room
C: The water board please.
O: Which department?
C: Tap water
O: How are you spelling that?
C: With letters.
C: I'd like the number for a reverend in Cardiff, please.
O: Do you have his name?
C: No, but he has a dog named Ben.
C: The Union of Shopkeepers and Alligators please.
O: You mean the Amalgamated Union of Shopkeepers?
C: Er, yes.
And finally, on one occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone box told the worried operator: "I haven't got a pen so I'm steaming up the window to write the number on."
