Mr. Jones bought some things from a big shop last month, and when he got the bill a few days ago, he thought that there was a mistake in it, so he telephoned the shop and asked to speak to the Accounts Department. `Who do you want to speak to in the Accounts Department?' the telephone operator asked.
`
It doesn't matter to me
,' Mr Jones answered. He did not know the
names of any of the people who worked there. He heard nothing for a
few seconds and then the
operator
said, `Hullo, you wanted to speak to someone in the Accounts Department, didn't you?
'Yes, that's right,' Mr Jones answered.
`Would you like to speak to Mr Hankinson?' the operator said. `Yes, that'll be all right,' Mr Jones said patiently. `It doesn't matter who I speak to.'
`I'm sorry,' the operator answered, `but Mr Hankinson isn't in today.'
