How true

We get calls around dinner time here in OZ, even though we are on a call register that is mean't to block these calls. I've noticed lately, that these people with VERY strong Indian or Pakistany accents have VERY Anglo names, like Michael Johnson, Peter Jones, David Smith, Darren Peterson, etc,etc.
I can't help but laugh when I hear them state their name, cracks me up, every time!!

I think that's because T... most of them have no vowels in their names... and it ends up sounding like they're just clicking their teeth or something. So they had to come up with "Anglo" type names...

Do you want to spend 5 minutes trying to get some sort of customer service from "D'bbd Mkl'd O'msh"? Or would you trust "Peeeter" instead?
