Me: Unfortunately not, earliest availability would be around 5PM.
Him: Okay lets say 5
Me: Sure, how long would you like to book for?

Me: *tells him my hour rate*
Him: Jesus, you must be the dogs b*llocks to get away with that, I?ll stick to half an hour

Me: London, if you?d like a booking you have to confirm how long you?d like to stay so I can arrange other appointments.
Him: Oh yes, 30 minutes then, it?s nice to see an English girl around here with all the *insert industry stereotypes of EE agencies and SPs*, send me the road name and the postcode and I?ll see you at 5. *disconnects call*
