I got a call from Topps Tiles the other day to say that the tiles I ordered have just arrived. I did not order any tiles. I asked what branch, and I told them I had never been to that branch in North London. They said sorry and put the phone down. 2 days later they ring again and said that I had ordered the tiles. I was now speaking to the guy that supposedly served me. After about 20 questions and 10 minutes later I pieced together who the person was. It was a guy I did a quote for about 2 months ago. He walked into Topps and asked for trade prices on over £600 worth of tiles. He gave my name and address and confirmed my telephone number (all of which are on my business card). I rang the customer and got no answer. He obviously did not answer because he was thinking of a yarn to spin me. I called again and he said that he had meant to ring me to tell me that he ordered the tiles and that Topps might call me. I did not want to have a go at him because he also said that he will give me a call soon when he wants the tiles fitted. I still think it’s a bloody cheek. However, if I get a job out of it then I will be happy.
