The Good Wife.
“Hi, I’d like to order a pizza please?”
“Can I have your phone number please?”
“My phone number?”
“Yes please.”
“Why do you need my phone number?”
“To confirm the delivery address is correct on our system.”
“But you haven’t even taken my order?”
“We just need to make sure we have the correct number Sir.”
“Ok...it’s 82xxxxxxx
“That number is not coming up on our system. Have you ordered from us before?”
“I have yes.”
“Well I’m sorry sir, that number is not here.”
“Well that’s not my problem. I have ordered from you before...
“We need confirmation of your address.”
“I only want to order a Pizza!”
“I will need a contact number to deliver it. Do you have an alternative number?”
“Yes...its 08xxxxxxxxx
“Is that your number sir?”
“Yes.”
“Have you used this number before?”
“I don’t know”
“Can I use this for our records for future.”
“I don’t know if I will be ringing you again in the future.”
“Are you registered at the address for that number.”
“No! But do you know what I am? I am hungry and all I want to order is a pizza and you are just short of asking me my blood group. So do you know what you can do with your phone numbers and your pizza?”

“Did you order the pizza?”
We are sitting down now, children looking on expectantly.
“No....I didn’t order the pizza.”
“Why?”
I explain.
She sighs and gets up quietly. Smiles at the children.
She is back within five minutes.
She puts the phone back on the table.
She looks at me and shakes her head.
“Mam are we getting pizza?”
“Yes dear....it’s on the way.
