        There's a fella in my office who when he answers the phone, says Hi and then either 'Hello Sexy' or 'Hello Darlin'

        He then proceeds to use these terms across the conversation before always signing off with one of them!

        He does this with both male & female colleagues!!?!?!?

            Are you sure you've replied with the correct account?

            Don't want you getting muddled again do we?

              Still less should he be offering a brief running commentary to the committee clerk, to the effect that the woman in question was "dusky" and "the kind you'd see in a Gauguin painting".

              Adding "there's a bit of culture" only made it worse.
              Although I think my favourite part is

              "The heat's getting to me"
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
