    'nice voice on the phone - add on 2 stone' always be wary. Worked at an insurance gig in l'pool for a while, large 'contact centre' had some stunning looking girls working there but it was really difficult to see past the screeching accent coming out of them. Not saying I wouldn't want a go but not sure I would want to buy one 'for keeps' though.

        The best place I worked was one of the Virgin businesses. Honey upon honey.

        A mate of mine setting up the phone systems used to choose a girl a week for some extra attention. He'd approach one that had taken his eye and tell them that they were using her phone system and computer to run some extra software on for a new release and that if she had any problems, no matter how small to call him immediately. He would then give his mobile.

        He'd then get to know them and because he was having flying lessons he would offer to take them up.

        A number fell for the BS, flight and the cash he splashed and landed up nailing about half a dozen!!!

        It only went wrong when one lass fell for him and called off her wedding!!!!!!!

            One day young HAB had a appointment elsewhere first thing and turned up for work mid morning. As he passed the desk of the object of his desire he heard the voice of .......

            ... an horrendous moronic chav. Totally ruined the image I had created in my mind.

            Many years ago, the lads in the warehouse got the chance to go to the stock control office where there was a lady with an extremely sexy telephone voice. For years they'd dreamed about the lady with the sexy voice...


            ... imagine their shock when it turned out she was a plump 60 year old granny.

              I came across that in Croydon. Some lovely looking birds, but once out of an office environment and down the pub, they swore like troopers.
