Does anyone need a lift to Beverley? If so ring me on 348448, I know we advised not to post tellyphone numbers but it's an ISDN line, so if any weirdos phone I will have their number (all incoming calls are logged). You must be local to qualify for this offer.john

Mr Happy, you could phone in sick, I am not allowed time off work unless I am dead, so I phoned my boss to tell him i was dead, he did not believe me, but I got the weekend off anyway.john

I Called the local library and I said "Is that the local library" and the man said "I don't know, where are you ringing from" !

My girlfriend works on a telephone helpline.

When asking the caller where they are calling from, she often gets:

'The kitchen'

I usualy answer the telephone question 'Is that dad?' with 'Dunno - depends who that is.' If they then start to ask for a lift I deny all knowledge and insist on a DNA test;-)

Good man, John. Sorry I couldn't make it.

Cheers

This thread has just shown up on the index just above the "Please consider how you title threads" thread. How appropriate.

(I'm local in Seattle, so I know I don't count, but I think Ottawa is near Hull.)

I'm local, John. Hell, I'm right here in my very own chair. As for why I came to this thread, I got tired of the one from GUEST(Ian) about being careful how you title your threads. No, not your threads, one's threads. And I saw this one and wondered, 'Hmm. I wonder what "Local people" means in this case??!!' So I clicked and the rest is the next best thing to history. Don't worry, I won't call you. I don't even know the country code.

Carry on. Not too loudly.

in uk, 'the local' can mean a pub you [one] go[es] to a lot, usually near where you [one] lives.

i never use my local 'cos there's no folking about in there.

but i do attend the locals of many other people.

and in this sense i'm a local bloke!

Isn't 'local' all relative? We are all local, or given the time here is 4:25AM, is that loco? Some of the stories above remind me of the inebriate calling for a taxi from a pay phone outside the bar.....'Where are you?' asks the dispatcher. Replies the drunk, 'I'm at the corner of telephone and telephone'!
