The manager's note
Verdictno sale, no objection, caller withdrew to fight another day
“Bernard asked whether the upgrade needed feeding; Callum asked twice for a yes and got a missing pair of glasses instead.”
The call
Oldest line at the top; it reads downward like a script.
Callum Thripp
Hello, this is Callum Thripp of Yeardley and Sons, established 1911, and we're ringing because there's an upgrade sitting in your airing cupboard that's never been activated.
Bernard
Oh, the airing cupboard. Yes, well, it's always been a bit generous with the damp. Now, an upgrade, you said — does it come in green at all?
Callum Thripp
We can't speak to the colour on this line, Bernard — what we can say is the cupboard you've got already contains the fitting, it's just never been switched on. The whole team's behind this one, and we're happy to escalate it to the next level if it helps.
Bernard
Switched on, you say. Hmm. Well, I'd have to have a look and see if I can find the blessed switch — is it the sort of thing that needs feeding?
Callum Thripp
Not knowing a thing about it doesn't rule you out, Bernard — that's the whole point. So, as team leader since Monday, may I book the assessment visit and get it properly looked at?
Bernard
Team leader since Monday, that's a quick rise. Well, I'm very interested, I am. Now — would this visit be coming up the front path? There's a slab out there that rocks something dreadful.
Callum Thripp
Can I put you down for a yes, Bernard? The whole team's ready whenever you are.
Bernard
Oh, that's good of you, putting me down for anything. Let me just — hold on, I've got to check something in the hall. Are you still there?
Callum Thripp
Still here, Bernard. So we'll put that down as a yes for the assessment.
Bernard
Well, I wouldn't say a yes exactly, more a let me think on it. My glasses have gone missing again, you see, and I can't commit to anything without them.
Callum Thripp
I'll ring you back another day. Bye now.
