I remembered a story mother enjoyed telling. It's been a while so I'll keep it short and free of embellishment.

My mother needed to contact a company on some matter, looked up their number and gave them a call.

A lady answered and after explaining her reason for calling, my mother was told that she needed to contact them on another number.

She dutifully called the updated number and began her explanation before pausing in realisation.

"Aren't you the same person I just spoke to?"

"Yes", replied Ms MC "But now you're on the right number".
