Friend sent me this.

The following are real conversations Directory Enquiries operators had with callers, as revealed in interviews with staff at the BT call centre

Caller : I'd like the number of the Arbour Fish shop in Wick please. Operator : I'm sorry, there's no listing. Is the spelling correct? Caller : Well, it used to be called the Harbour Fish shop but the H fell off.

Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven. Operator : Woven? Are you sure? Caller : Yes. That's what it says on the label - Woven in Scotland.

Caller : I'd like the RSPCA please.
Operator : Where are you calling from?
Caller : The living room

Caller : The water board please.
Operator : Which department?
Caller : Tap water.

Operator : How are you spelling that?
Caller : With letters.

Caller : I'd like the number for a reverend in Thurso , please.
Operator : Do you have his name?
Caller : No, but he has a dog named Ben.

On another 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.
