An Incident Worthy of Mention

Background: George is attempting to arrange a Bahraini residence visa and ID card (CPR) with a residency agent who is his usual fine form


George: Adil, your email on how I apply for my residency was a bit vague, could you please clarify-
Adil: What email? I don't remember sending you an email.
George: Hmmm...well I've got an email in front of me with your name at the end of it...
Adil: That wasn't from me, I didn't send you an email.
George: (Pauses...takes deep breath) Well the name at the end of the email is ADIL and it's been emailed from the address ADILAHMED@...
Adil: I didn't send that, someone must have stolen my email address
George: .... hmm...you mean someone stole your email address to specifically email me about my residency application?
Adil: YES! terrible..its just terrible these days...you can't keep things secure...
George: Ok could you please answer a few questions-
Adil: (who'd been mumbling through my last sentence) Vikram! It must have been Vikram...terrible...just terrible I'll be taking action this time
George: Your cleaner and tea guy emailed me about my residency application? Is that what you're telling me? The guy who can't speak english?
Adil: YESYESYES reprehensible!
George: Who now appears to be internet articulate with an amazing ability for written english?
Adil: Yes you can't trust these people...very reprehensible.
George: Adil
Adil: Yes?
George: Where's the address for the offices I apply for CPR...
Adil: (Distracted)......
George: Adil???
Adil: Ma'am didn't you read my email! I told you it was on Exhibition road! (hangs up)
