It was always the same. Phoebe Fredericks had been working in telesales for three weeks precisely. . . beep . . . beep . . . beep . . . and it was getting on her nerves. She generally started calling up the Speaking Clock after lunch. By that point she would have exhausted all the 0891 numbers she could find in the free magazines that had been handed to her at the tube station that morning: Tarotline, Recorded Horoscope, Dial-a-Date. (Oh, those poor lonely hearts; little did they know she was trying to sell insurance over their mumbled descriptions of a caring D-cup blonde with a sense of humour.)Phoebe found selling to the Speaking Clock annoying. She had to hold the phone very close to her ear to stop the beeps being audible to her manager, who was wont to prowl around behind the sales team whispering: 'Good call, sweetheart!' and 'Ask for the business! Get the bastard to buy!' Holding the earpiece so close gave Phoebe a headache and heated her earrings to Regulo 8. But anything was better than cold calling.
