THIS ISN'T VICTORIA

my mobile phone rings. I don't recognise the number. I answer.

ME: Hello? (my voice is obviously male. hoarse, even, because of my heavy cold)
CALLER: Hi, this is Thomas from the Incident Support Team.
ME: What kind of incident do you think I've been involved in, Thomas?
CALLER: Is this Victoria?
ME: No. Can't you hear it's not Victoria?
CALLER: ...
ME: Is it Victoria Jones you're after? I get about 50 calls a year for a Victoria Jones. I guess she used to have my mobile number. Or she's put my number in when filling out some form. So if you can strike my number off your list, that'd be great.
CALLER: Cheers.
