@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social In the UK it'd be "Have you got a postcode for that?" But sometimes you get operators who do know what they're doing. Like the last time I called 999: Them: "Which service do you require?" Me: "I don't know - there's a cow in the river." Them: "OK, I'll call the pinder. Which bridge is it near?" Me: [names bridge] Them; "Thanks, I'll get onto it, bye." (It's not that rare for a cow to get into the Cam. The pinder is the guy who knows how to persuade the cow to move to somewhere it can be rescued.) #Cambridge

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I grew up on Eucalyptus Ave. Not only do I have to spell it to myself, every time, I have to spell it for other people multiple times, every time.
