Hanging On The Telephone...

 My phone rings, and "Becky"* is calling. The conversation goes thus

A    Hello Becky
B    Hello is that Angie?
A    Err, yes  
[nobody calls me Angie]
    Angela from Church?
[now I'm suspicious, the Becky I know doesn't go to church...]
A     Yes, um, who are you exactly?
B    I'm Becky from church
A    Which Church?
B    St Philips
[Where on earth is St Philips?]  
A    I'm Angela from Foulsham Baptist Chapel
B    Where's that then?
A    Norfolk
B    Are you sure?
[of course I'm sure]
A    Positive. 
What was your name again?
B    Becky Snowflake
 [Ahh, I remember...]
A    Ah! right, that Becky - you used to come to Alison's choir at our Church in Dorset
B    Yes I did, in Ferndown
A    My husband was minister, but we retired 3½ years ago
B    Oh, was he a very tall guy called Bobby? 
[nobody calls him Bobby]
    That's right. I'm his very short wife
B    You're not the Angela I thought you were
[there's no answer to that, is there?]
A    Well never mind. I have to go. I'm rather busy. 
God bless you. Goodbye!
    Good bye then 
[she hangs up]
What a crazy conversation 
[*names changed to protect the confused.I've deleted this Becky from my contacts]

PS thank you for kind words about Julian's appearance on Countdown. We are so proud of him
