Phone greetings...

[frozenrain]

Does anyone have a special way of answering the phone. Maybe for a loved one. When My hubby rings I sometimes say 'Buckingham Palace-queens Corgi kennel' or' Buckingham place Prince Edward's shoe cupboard' in a really posh voice or I say Dominoes pizza or mostly I just say plain hello...
Does anyone else say silly stuff.


The prank call thread made me think of this chit chat thread

That is the only thing.Sometimes you call a person and they have the same song on their phone for months and months and months. Nice the first two times but not every blinkin time

It is funny I have a friend in England who is not common but everytime a stranger talks to her she puts on the Queen of England's voice
I must admit I say yah (like the german ja).
Do you have posh accents here?

Yep, I'd say that your accent of the English Queen fits it

Glad I am not the only silly one .It does make it more interesting....

Yes I can imagine. I wait for those days.... Amazing how much young people can talk on the phone ....I like the butler line.
when we had all been out my son or daughter used to knock on the door or ring the door bell when the house was empty .I used to say who do you expect to answer
,the butler?. maybe he will offer us some cucumber sandwiches..

My grandfather answers the phone by saying "ha do?" which is short for "how do you do". My grandmother says "toot-a-loo" instead of goodbye.
