SiblingsBrothers and sisters - can't live with 'em, can't stove 'em to death with the coal scuttle and bury 'em behind the local industrial estate. Tell us about yours.
Thanks to suboftheday for the suggestion -we're keeping the question open for another week for the New Year

ElephantA few years back, my brother had a telephone number that was only one digit different to that of the online insurer Elephant. He was plagued by mis-diallers trying to buy car insurance.
One such occurence went as follows:
Phone: "Brinnng Brinnng"
Brother "Hello"
Stranger: "Hello is that Elephant dot com?"
Brother: "Do you mean Elephant dot co dot uk?"
Stranger: "Yes"
Brother: "No"

Aherr
He was living in Derby, I'm SURE he said Elephant but you may wish to swap that for a Derby based internet insurer.
Or maybe the one digit difference was in the dialing code?
What is this, 20 questions?
Grrr.
